[Intro]
A F#m7 Bm7 E
[Verse 1]
E A
This ole holler
A F#m7
Used to be my home
F#m7 Bm7
And under that water
Bm7 E
Is everything I own
E A
There was a hardwood floor
A F#m7
Used to let me know
F#m7 Bm7
That my wife and daughter
Bm7 E
Were safe at home
[Chorus 1]
E D A
Now this lake in the middle of nowhere
A C#/F F#m7
Says there ain't none of that no more
F#m7 D A
And this storm blowing in from the south's
A E
Got no shame coming to rob the poor
E D A
I was hoping I could sit here a moment
C#/F F#m7
Maybe say my goodbyes
F#m7 D
Here comes the rain
D E A
Ain't nothing sane in this life
[Instrumental

[Verse 2]
E A
My closest friend's
A F#m7
Been gone for days
F#m7 Bm7
I called out for him
Bm7 E
I went down to his place
E A
Twenty-nine souls
A F#m7
Still cannot be found
F#m7 Bm7
That search patrol
Bm7 E
Don't stop when the sun goes down
[Chorus 2]
E D A
And this ole lake in the middle of nowhere
A C#/F F#m7
Says they ain't coming back no more
F#m7 D A
And that storm blowing up from the south's
A E
Got no shame, coming to rob the poor
E D A
I was hoping I could sit here a moment
C#/F F#m7
Have myself one last cry
F#m7 D
Here comes the rain
D E A
Ain't nothing sane in this life
[Bridge]
Bm7 C#m D E
[Chorus 3]
E D A
Well this ain't no River of Jordan
C#/F F#m7
Carrying the lost sons home
F#m7 D A
It's that muddy river Kentucky
E
Sent to strip us to the bone
E D A
And I know it ain't my place to question
A C#/F F#m7
But sometimes I ask the good Lord why
F#m7 D
There's so much pain
D E
Ain't nothing sane
E D
Here comes the rain
D E A
Ain't nothing sane in this life
[Outro]
A F#m7 Bm7
