New Orleans Is Sinking

[Intro]

Kick it, rockers

[Verse 1: Ben Kowalewicz]

Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete

Under skies all smoky blue green

She said "I can't forsee a dixie dead shake"

So we danced 'til the sidewalk's clean

[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]

My memory is muddy

What's this river that I'm in?

I said "New Orleans is sinking, man

And I don't wanna swim"

[Verse 2: Ben Kowalewicz]

Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?

You can't tie yourself up for a deal?

He said, "Hey north, you're south, so shut your big mouth

You gotta do what you feel is real"

[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]

My memory is muddy

What's this river that I'm in?

I said "New Orleans is sinking, man

And I don't wanna swim"
