Lyrics
In the valley with the live oak and cottonwood
Manzanita blooms when the weather's good
It's been too long without a rain
Come on babe tell the story of the flood again
Two by two, four by four
This house is built of timber from the roof to the floor
There's no way it won't burn
Praying to an angry god, this is what we get in return
Way out west a fire burns
Cigarette ash on a dried out fern
Red sunset, hot as sin
Come on babe tell the story of the flood again
Two by two, four by four
This house is built of timber from the roof to the floor
There's no way it won't burn
Praying to an angry god, this is what we get in return

Simon Cropp is a flatpick guitarist and folk songwriter from Decorah, Iowa. His performance style is equal parts dive bar bravado and fireside introspection. His writing channels classic country themes of love, heartbreak, and landscape - winking at cliche without bending to it - to deliver a sound that is as comfortable on a front porch as it is on a festival stage.
