Kentucky Downpour

Levon Helm, Marty Grebb

Helm The Band-Grebb

Night wheels rollin' on a cold black road
Got an uneasy feelin', haulin' a heavy load
Ease up on the hammer
It's getting pretty thick
It's startin' to rain and
It's gonna get slick

Oh, Kentucky downpour
It's coming down harder than
We ever bargained for

Storm clouds blowin' through
The cotton fields
Black ice is forming underneath my wheels
Drivin' back home
This ain't no time for stormin'
You can't make no time when
All the rain starts pourin'
Oh, Kentucky downpour
It's coming down harder than
We ever bargained for

Oh, Kentucky cloudburst my luck's run out
Maybe went from bad to worse

Thunder is crashin' and lightnin' is flashin'
We pray for peaceful times
Can a voice be heard above the din
When the winds are high?

Still water runs deep through the fathom blue
The rain clouds pour down when
You don't want 'em to
Ridin' and losin' track of when I comin' back
Or where I'm comin' from or if I'm on the run

Oh, Kentucky downpour
It's coming down harder than
We ever bargained for

Oh, Kentucky cloudburst my luck's run out
Maybe went from bad to worse

Oh, Kentucky downpour
It's coming down harder than
We ever bargained for

Oh, Kentucky cloudburst my luck's run out
Maybe went from bad to worse oh
Oh
