All the fields are flooded up to Highway 51
Illinois is coming ’cross the bridge where the Old Ohio was
Don’t look away, it will be gone
Kentucky and Missouri, a trinity of states
Nothing’s in a hurry ’cept the water in between the rising banks
Oh nothing moves but nothing st

Red blinking lights pull me in
Standing in line, waiting for a spin
Let my feet leave the ground
Be a building standing tall
Fall in love with the rise and the fall

While I’m waiting at the bottom dreaming of the top
Sometimes I want on it, sometimes I want off

Nails to a board
