Washed Away

A red minivan severely damaged with its roof torn open and side door missing, sitting on muddy ground amid storm debris and damaged trees.

I was supposed to go back to the Gulf Coast today and I thought about how everything was still messed up down there. I have lots of friends still living in FEMA trailers and trying to put their lives back together.

I had written this song a while back and thought I'd put it together with a few photos I took after Hurricane Katrina hit us.
