New Orleans shortly after Katrina
|
Sitting in my little house down in New Orleans
The power's back the lights are on, I've got Bonnie on a DVD
You'd never know five weeks ago there'd been a mighty storm
Until I go back out hte door and see what's left of My Home Town
We are down, but we ain't dyin' We're on our knees but we ain't through.
We are down, but we ain't dyin' All our tears are comin' through
We are down, but we ain't dyin' We're on our knees but we ain't through.
We are down but we ain't broken New Orleans you sure ain't through
Spent three weeks in Memphis and two in Mandeville
Sleeping on a friendly floor waiting on our turn to see
Saw all the pictures on the TV listened to the radio
I saw Biloxi blasted clean and I wondered where the hell those folks would go.
Chorus:
We got friends who lost their houses, Towns that are simply gone
Clinging to the rooftops or swallowed by the storm
It's gonna be a long time before we're healed and whole
But trouble never stops us and wind can't kill our soul
Chorus:
