God Forsaken Town Lyrics

They we say we've got to leave but there's no way to go

This ain't the first time we've weathered out a storm

And I ain't got nothing but at least I know it's mine

And I'll be god damned if I'm leaving 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

The voices on the radio were cracking off and on

The court is underwater and the levees 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

I don't think Jr. is going to last another day

We got a sawed off and a red hot.44

So all you looters best come heavy when you're knocking on my door

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

We all know this crescent city just won't be the same again

And I'll still be standin' when the saints go marching 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

And I'm one in half a million so at least I'm not alone

The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on

(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

Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
