Track #12 off the new Reckless Kelly album, "Bulletproof"
Written by Willy Braun & Robert Earl Keen
They say we gotta leave but there's no way to go
So let the rain sting my neck
The voices on the radio are cracking off and on
So let the rain sting my neck
Everyone sit tight, help is on the way
So let the rain sting my neck
We all know this Crescent City just won't be the same again
So let the rain sting my neck

And 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 leavin' here before the day I die
Let the mighty Mississippi take this god forsaken town
Let the storm and all her fury come and carry me away
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
The Quarter's under water 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
Let the mighty Mississippi take this god forsaken town
Let the storm and all her fury come and carry me away
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
But I don't think Jr.'s gonna last another day
We've got a sawed-off and a red hot .44
So all you looters best come heavy when you're knocking on my door
Let the mighty Mississippi take this god forsaken town
Let the storm and all her fury come and carry me away
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
But I'll still be standing when the saints go marching in
Lyrics aggregators who steal our code without credit suck balls.
The 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 just one in half a million so at least I'm not alone
The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on
Let the mighty Mississippi take this god forsaken town
Let the storm and all her fury come and carry me away
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
