God Forsaken Town Lyrics
They say we gotta leave but there’s no way to go.
This aint the first time we’ve weathered out a storm.
And I aint got nothing but at least I know it’s mine,
And I’ll be goddamned if I’m leavin here before the day I die.
CHORUS:
So let the rain sting my neck.
Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town.
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away,
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground.
Voices on the radio are crackin off and on.
The Quarter’s under water and the levee’s all but gone.
There’s children in the treetops and soldiers in the sky.
It’s too late now to run I’d never make it out alive.

CHORUS
Everyone sit tight, help is on the way
But I don’t think Jr.’s gonna last another day.
We’ve got a sawed-off and red hot .44,
So all you looters best come heavy when you’re knockin on my door.
CHORUS
We all know this Crescent City just won’t be the same again.
But I will still be standin when the saints go marchin in.
X’s on the windows say there’s no one left inside.
If you count the painted numbers you’ll know just how many died.
I’m one in half a million so at least I’m not alone.
The hurricane is over but the storm keeps ragin on.
So let the rain sting my neck.
Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town.
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away,
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground.
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground.
