This City

[00:15.46] This city won't wash away
[00:19.05] This city won't ever drown
[00:22.05] Blood in the water and hell to pay
[00:25.65] Sky tear open and pain rain down
[00:29.59] Doesn't matter 'cause come what may
[00:32.93] I ain't ever gonna leave this town
[00:36.73] This city won't wash away
[00:40.14] This city won't ever drown
[00:43.46]
[00:51.09] Ain't the river or the wind to blame
[00:54.54] 'Cause everybody around here knows
[00:58.10] Nothin' holdin' back Ponchartrain
[01:00.92] Except for a prayer and a promise's ghost
[01:05.03] We just carry on diggin' our graves
[01:07.99] In solid marble above the ground
[01:11.78] Maybe our bones'll wash away
[01:15.55] But this city won't ever drown
[01:18.30]
[01:47.60] This city won't ever die
[01:51.14] Just as long as her heart beats strong
[01:54.58] Like a second line steppin' high'
[01:58.16] Raisin' hell as we roll along
[02:01.56] Gentilly to the Vieux Carre
[02:05.13] Lower Nine, Central City, Uptown
[02:08.55] Singin' Jock-a-mo Fee No Nay
[02:12.14] This city won't ever drown
[02:15.50] Doesn't matter 'cause there ain't no way
[02:19.16] I'm ever gonna leave this town
[02:22.87] This city won't wash away
[02:26.41] This city won't ever drown
[02:29.28]
