TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN ®
                  ®2003 by John G. Fausett

When you’re on the road
And the rain pours down
When the water’s rising
Till it floods the ground

Turn around, don’t drown

Barricade goes up
To alert the town
It delays your journey
So, though you wear a frown

Turn around, don’t drown

Stay away from lower places
When the water’s on the rise
You could be another victim
If you choose to be unwise

Turn around, don’t drown
(Just go on back and find another way)

You’ve got an S.U.V.
Four thousand pounds
But the moving water
Can lift you off the ground

Turn around, don’t drown

Stay away from lower places
                        When the water’s on the rise
You could be another victim
If you choose to be unwise

Turn around, don’t drown
(Just use your head...it’s all common sense)

You can try to swim       
Until it sucks you down
Your body’s swept away
It might never be found

Turn around, don’t drown
Turn around, don’t drown
