(Chris Jonat)

Well I'm Jonathan Henry McKay
I've lived on farm 30 years and a day
Some call me Junior but I don't like it that way
Since the of '90 when dad left to stay
Mom passed a year later couldn't bear alone
It's on ten years I been head of this home
Now I got me a wife and three of my own
I work hard, I live clean, I reap I've sewn

had rain to speak of in round near a year
Crops searching for water but there aint near
We need something soon, but it come I fear
My children won't eat, run out of tears.
So I to the back forty, said I needed the air
I past the fence, through the Johnson share
And when I made right sure no one me there
I got on my knees, cried Lord, do you care?

Amen, Amen, Oh Lord, Amen,

Next morning came sleep still in my eyes
My eldest, John Three, he was the first to
He said, Daddy come quick I got the biggest
We jumped to our clothes cause we
hear the rain pounding the patio door
And sneaking cracks onto the kitchen floor
We in the yard til we could stand it no more
Then got down on our gave our thanks to the Lord

I sent the boys to aunts, day before last
Yesterday morning told the wife get there
The water keeps rising already past
The roof of the but I'm staying pat
Now I'm top of the tree where my daddy climbed
And I'm thinking I'm done though it don't seem my
I got living to do, to mind
Wanna watch the boys grow, see the next in my
And I bow down, cause there's no land for my knees
But I'm crying out now, I'm asking you please
Father have mercy, Jesus my pleas
Lord up in I'm not ready to leave

Well I'm Jonathan Charles McKay
And lived on this farm my ten years and a day
Some call me Three but I don't like it that way
Since daddy done his own life for rain
