Almost died to a flashflood in the spring of Two thousand and ten Every time thunder struck, it was hella loud Poundin' in the back of my ear Pictures burned in my brain Still make my spine shiver Of the dead livestock and old work trucks Floatin' the the mouth of the river Old folks on the roof, prayin' to God To get baptized in the dark, cold river So when you threaten me, it's excitin' to see How you think you scare me mister So if the record labels try to drown me out You'll see crazy eyes and a crooked smile sittin' on my mouth And I ain't made of sugar or carry no shame 'Cause I've seen heavier rain Yeah, I'm rebel tough, still carry no shame 'Cause I've seen heavier rain Heavier rain I've seen heavier rain Some chase the standard of famous and pampered For theirself, make no decision Some like the danger and backroad cocaine And six-speed Chevy transmissions Tell mainstream I said: Come get some You won't even know you're bigger 'Cause this country boy ain't a label's playtoy I come from the mouth of the river So if the record labels try to drown me out You'll see crazy eyes and a crooked smile sittin' on my mouth And I ain't made of sugar or carry no shame 'Cause I've seen heavier rain Yeah, I'm rebel tough, still carry no shame 'Cause I've seen heavier rain Heavier rain I've seen heavier rain Sink or you swim, son, I been on a limb As people's lives get swept from their fences And Pawpaw died before he seen his first grandson Saddle up country music and tame it So if the record labels try to drown me out You'll see crazy eyes and a crooked smile sittin' on my mouth And I ain't made of sugar or carry no shame 'Cause I've seen heavier rain Yeah, I'm rebel tough, still carry no shame 'Cause I've seen heavier rain Heavier rain I've seen heavier rain Yeah, I've seen heavier rain
