Story behind the song
No story, really. We've all had experiences that changed our lives immediately.
Lyrics
verse:
The phone rings at midnight. Your son's in jail.
He begs you to come and get him out on bail.
A few drinks with buddies in their favorite bar.
One more for the road before he got in his car.
chorus:
In just a few seconds, the world is upended.
Everything is changed.
In just a few seconds, order is suspended.
Your life is rearranged.
verse:
The doctor says "things don't look quite right."
He says you're falling apart and losing your sight.
Just to be sure you're gonna need more tests.
Initial conclusions leave you depressed.
chorus
verse:
The deputy at the door says "you're being evacuated."
The water's rising fast, worse than we anticipated.
The road's already flowing up to my hubcaps."
Don't take the bridge, 'cuz it's gonna collapse.
chorus
