https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14202439 Dark clouds are rollin’ in Over this valley town Weatherman said the storm will Wash away what’s not tied down Pack up the car and hurry Take only what we need We’re gonna ride this storm out Wait for the waters to recede Chorus Come hell as high water Three straight days of rain Pray that we’ll see the sun shine God willing and the river don’t rise again The banks are overflowin’ Levee’s likely to give ‘way Gotta get to higher ground Before we all get swept away Chorus Bridge Only Jesus can walk on water The rest of us just sink or swim All we can do now is hope for the best And put what’s left of our faith in Him Chorus

Thanks for checking it out. Appreciate it. I was going for a Band vibe.

Great vibe to this. I get what FD is saying about Creedence. I was thrown at first by hell as high water instead of hell or high water before I realized you were subverting the phrase to express just how hellish a flood can be. That's a clever line that sticks in the mind.
Enjoyed this a lot.

Thanks for the kind words. The phrase "Come hell as high water" was indeed intentional. Glad you caught that.

VNorth2, from the beginning I heard this as a Band-style song and fortunately the people at Panda Productions were able to deliver.
