INTRO (spoken) Ain't nobody hear the first blues... Before the records... Before the clubs... Before the charts... It was one voice... And a whole lotta distance... Let the levee talk... HOOK Let the levee talk... Wind know things we forgot... Let the levee talk... Dirt remember every foot that walked... Sun go down... Still hear that call... Let the levee talk... That's that... VERSE 1 Ain't got much company out here, Just me and a long road. Whole lotta people got opinions, Ain't many got a load. Everybody wanna tell a story, Nobody wanna pull the plow. Everybody love the harvest, Where the workers at now? I hear old voices in the distance, Might be memory, might be truth. Might be somebody long gone Still tryna reach the youth. See I don't sing for applause, Never did, never will. I just listen when the silence Start talkin' through the hill. HOOK Let the levee talk... Wind know things we forgot... Let the levee talk... Dirt remember every foot that walked... Sun go down... Still hear that call... Let the levee talk... That's that... VERSE 2 Some folks hear a guitar, I hear generations. Some folks hear old songs, I hear conversations. Hear a man miss his family. Hear a woman miss her name. Hear somebody keep movin' When every day look the same. That's why I move different. That's why my bars got dust. Everything ain't for the spotlight. Some things built on trust. Field ain't dead. River ain't either. History don't disappear. It just change speakers. BREAKDOWN (field holler style) Heyyyyyyyyy... Can you hear it? Heyyyyyyyyy... Way out yonder... Heyyyyyyyyy... Keep on walkin'... Heyyyyyyyyy... Sun almost gone... FINAL HOOK Let the levee talk... Don't drown it out... Let the levee talk... Too much noise now... Let the levee talk... Hear where we came from... Let the levee talk... So we know where we goin'... That's that.
