Noah's Ark

I weren't expecting no rainbows
Noah told them cackling hens
I weren't considered no sailor 
and I hope that I don't have to do this again
how many times can you fly out 
and leave me with an open empty hand 
this time will be the last time 
I send that little bird to find land 
for days it just kept raining 
oh the rain just kept coming on down 
I thought I'd never get a sign 
and I thought for sure that I was gonna drown 
then yonder her she come then flying 
until that day I couldn't sing a note 
it's hard to wait for information 
and I can't wait to dock this old boat

if I ever get to heaven 
I'll admit i doubted some 
I'll tell them everything that happened 
and ask them why it took so long 
and if they find my tools and timber 
that I used to build her strong 
I hope the fools that do remember 
how on a sea of hope and faith 
we drifted home

I'm pretty sure that someone will be there to meet us 
Noah told them chickens to their face 
and as he looked out from the mountain 
he could see what time would do to this old place
is everybody coming with me 
it'll take a little time to settle in 
I hope everyone forgives me 
because this took a little longer than I planned 
you all hold on to one another 
and you make damn sure that you don't drift apart 
then we'll truck on down this mountain 
and we'll find a level place to make a brand new start 
then the sun just kind of peeked out 
it was juts enough to make them feel assured 
and the only thing that noah kept repeating 
was that he sure was glad to see that little bird.

hello it's good to see you 
it's been a long long time
