Richard Shindell
money for floods
Select language to translate this lyric
My name is Eliza
I live by the river
My daughter Louise
Will be three in July
If July ever comes
Itâs beginning to feel
Like the water will never
Surrender the field
Everyone knows
Rivers will swell
But they always find money
They always find money
They always find
The President came
In a green helicopter
He and the Governor
Walked all around
My sister broke down
And he gave her a hug
And told her heâd do
Everything that he could
When I was sixteen
I went out with a boy
Iâd tell you his name
If I thought it would help
He told me he loved me
And tossed me a girl
The bigger my belly
The faster he ran
