Lyrics

Broken Levee Blues

[Spoken intro] What do you say to people who have no homes? Is it astrodome? Or superdome? Or move in with a relative? But then that's relative. And you have to move from inner to Alaska, or Utah – and then you saw – how they feel about you in the news [Instrumental] (Nobody cares) (Nobody cares) (Nobody keeps a good dog down) (Ahhh)
