by Kent "Omar" Dykes recording of 1996 from World Wide Open (Watermelon 1053), copyright notice There's a storm ragin´ over the bayou And the Mississippi River goin´ wild The thunder sounds like it's gonna crack the sky wide open Weather man's talking on the T.V. Says God bless the child Lots of good people on these back roads really hurtin´ Everywhere you go you feel danger in the air There's lightning striking on an old tin roof I wish the world was electric proof Gonna be awhile before these storm clouds disappear There's a fire in the house Momma go and get the children There's a fire in the house Like the whole world's burning down There's a fire in the house And you know we need a little water Something's gotta change Whoa let it rain Sunday morning do righters Quick to say what's going wrong Saturday night they leave their religion at home They're the first to point their fingers And the last ones to help you along There's a storm ragin´ over the country And the muddy water runs so deep The thunder sounds like it's gonna crack the sky wide open Everywhere you go you feel danger in the air There's lightning striking on an old tin roof I wish the world was electric proof Gonna be awhile before these storm clouds disappear

by Kent "Omar" Dykes recording of 1995 from Muddy Springs Road (Watermelon 1036), copyright notice Get hip better slow down Get hip better slow down Better give yourself a chance to take a real good look around I know you got your red dress on You know that I know something's going on wrong I know that you're going out tonight I know that you know I'm too tired to fight I'm begging you baby don't throw our love away I can't stand this up and down You know it's like a ride on a merry go round You keep my heart on a roller coaster ride Carnival life can't keep us satisfied I'm begging you baby don't throw our love away
