This City

[Verse]

This city won't wash away

This city won't ever drown

Blood in the water and hell to pay

Sky tear open and the pain rained down

Doesn't matter, 'cause come what may

I ain't ever gonna leave this town

This city won't wash away

This city won't ever drown

[Verse]

Ain't the river or the wind to blame

As everybody around here knows

Nothing holding back Pontchartrain

Except for a prayer and a promise's ghost

We just carry on digging our graves

In solid marble above the ground

Maybe our bones will wash away

This city won't ever drown

[Verse]

This city won't ever die

Just as long as her heart beats strong

Like a second line stepping high

Raising hell as we roll along

Genteelly to Vieux Carre

Lower Nine, Central City, Uptown

Singing "Jockamo Fee Na Nay"

This city won't ever drown

[Verse]

Doesn't matter 'cause there ain't no way

I ain't ever gonna leave this town

This city won't wash away

This city won't ever drown
