I love this song, as I tend to love all of Sam's darker songs. I think this song is about a woman who kills her abusive husband by tying him to a stump and letting him drown in a flood. The savior "fielding forces of nature" I see as one of those big Southern storms that last for days and make all the creeks and gulleys overflow. Being a Southern expatriot myself a lot of his songs bring me back home. I'm surprised nobody has commented on this song yet--I think it's so cool.
