They we say we've got to leave but there's no way to go This ain't the first time we've weathered out a storm And I ain't got nothing but at least I know it's mine And I'll be god damned if I'm leaving here before the day I die (Chorus) So let the rain sting my neck Let the mighty Mississippi take this god-forsaken town Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground The voices on the radio were cracking off and on The court is underwater and the levees all but gone There's children in the treetops and soldiers in the sky It's too late now to run I'd never make it out alive (Chorus) Everyone sit tight help is on the way I don't think Jr. is going to last another day We got a sawed off and a red hot .44 So all you looters best come heavy when you're knocking on my door (Chorus) (Bridge) Letras de cancionesWe all know this crescent city just won't be the same again And I'll still be standin' when the saints go marching in X's on the windows say there's no one left inside If you count the painted numbers you'll know just how many died And I'm one in half a million so at least I'm not alone The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on (Chorus) So let the rain sting my neck Let the mighty Mississippi take this god-forsaken town Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground From Letras Mania
