      About      Listen 

Lived in this house all my life

On that corner I met my wife

Raised three sons and their families

Then I watch it wash down the street.

A patch where I punched the wall

A cross hanging over the bedroom door

Been my rock through the storms

It’s hard to believe it’s gone

Chorus

The levee may be break, but it won’t break me

The walls may be gone but my faith’s still there

The levee may be break, but it won’t break me

The walls may be gone but the foundation stands

I’ve been to college and I’ve been to war

Always knew that soon I’d be walking through that door

But all that’s gone not much remains

Except that cross and my faith

Chorus

Now where spread across this great land

And for the first time I’ve needed a helping hand

Yet I still have all I need

Faith, friends and my memories

Chorus
