May Erlewine - I Love This City lyrics

[verse 1]

It was so damn hot, the air so thick

Even Sister Magnolia was wearing nothing but her slips.

Sittin' on the corner waiting for his whites to dry

Spittin' on his shoes, trying to get a little shine

He says:

(chorus)

I love this city, I love it all my life

I was born here and this is where I wanna die

If a hurricane comes, if the levees break

With my one true love I will wash away

[verse 2]

You could hear the music, pourin' out into the streets

With a soul you'll never know, with a look you'll never see

Walk the border walk, like she walk on me

The struggle in her eyes and the flower in her hair

She says:

(chorus)

I love this city, I love it all my life

I was drawn here like water is to the sky

And if the hurricane comes, if the levees break

The lord o' this nation will wash away

[verse 3]

You could see the colours, smell the chicory

You could feel the heart poundin' outta beat

Over in the corner there's an angel singin' songs

To ease a troubled mind and-a help us carry on

(chorus)

I love this city, I love it all my life

I was born here and this is where I wanna die

If a hurricane comes, if the levees break

Then my one true love

Will wash away

(jazz interlude, fades away)
