Reckless Kelly - God Forsaken Town lyrics

Artist: Reckless Kelly

album: God Forsaken Town


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
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
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
We 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
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
