[Verse 1]
So there's a story [Em]about the
lady in Louisiana
She's a flood survivor and
the rescue teams
They come through, [B]and they,
[Em]I guess trying to recover [B]people
And they see this [Em]women she's
wading through the [B]streets
I guess it had been [Em]some
time after the storm
[B]And I guess they were [Em]shocked
that you know she was alive
[B]And rescue worker said, "So,
oh my God how did you survive
How did you do it? Where've
you been?"
[Em]An d[B] she said,
"Where I been? Where you been?"
Where you been? You understand?
That's about [Em]the size of it
This for the [C]streets,

[Verse 2]

The streets affected [C]by the storm called,
