This City

This city wont wash away
This city wont ever drown
Blood in the water and hell to pay
Sky tear open and pain rain down
Doesnt matter cause come what may
I aint ever gonna leave this town
This city wont wash away
This city wont ever drown
Aint the river or the wind to blame
Everybody around here knows
Nothin holdin back Ponchartrain
Except for a prayer and a promises ghost
We just carry on diggin our graves
In solid marble above the ground
Maybe our bonesll wash away
But this city wont ever drown
This city wont ever die
Just as long as her heart beats strong
Like a second line steppin high
Raisin hell as we roll along
Gentilly to the Vieux Carre
Lower Nine, Central City, Uptown
Singin Jacamo fee-nah-nay
This city wont ever drown
Doesnt matter cause there aint no way
Im ever gonna leave this town
This city wont wash away
This city wont ever drown
