Walking through this city, any lone star night
You always get a howdy or a friendly howdy-do
Till the rains came down upon us
At a level no one living knew
One knew what we'd done to bring this upon us
Lately some of us been acting like a fool
A flood of such proportions
The kind I learned about in Sunday school
Here comes Captain America
Captain Jim
His tiny boat comes crashing in
It's a mighty ark, wanna guide you to the shore
He's not Texas born
He came to help out with the storm
That's what they do
I was walking three feet deep in what was Main Street
A greater distance we could never swim
As we lifted up our prayers to meet our maker
That's when this story begins
Here comes Captain Jim
His fishing boat comes crashing in
It's a mighty ark, wanna guide you to the shore
To the shore
He's not Texas born
He came to help out with this storm
That's what they knew
I know I talked to earth
And I was traumatized
Fishing boats, parking houses
There was lots of life
Brave linemen working hard to restore the line
First day pet shelter trying to reunite
What we can do for you
Is build this town back twice as nice
Maybe crazy
You can't sink the cage in there
But grace of God gets you to the shore
*** that grandma, *** that dog
We'll find room on board, that's what we do
I got nothing left to repay you Jim
For what you've done that night
I owe everything to a fisherman
And his patient wife
He takes a special kind
A citizen who saved a stranger's life
What we can do for you
Is build this town back twice as nice
For the month I lived outside
I was filled with American pride
For the relief you sent
And tasty barbecue
They're not from far
They came down to help a brother
That's what they do
Walkin' through this city
And it longs to night
