Your smile is fading a bit, so I ration it |
|
Don't think about it |
|
Here where the Mississippi quits |
|
Where it's still got a bit of Minnesota in it |
|
No one will give you a thing these days |
|
They'd rather kill it or throw it away |
|
Don't 'do' dark American streets so |
|
If New Orleans is beat, if New Orleans is beat |
|
If New Orleans is beat, if New Orleans is beat |
|
If New Orleans is beat, where does that leave you and me? |
|
The river takes, takes, takes and takes |
|
It doesn't change and only changes |
|
See it there in a picture with me |
|
There's a caption beneath, 'New Orleans is beat' |
|
And if New Orleans is beat, if New Orleans is beat |
|
If New Orleans is beat, if New Orleans is beat |
|
Where does that leave you and me? |
|
Where does that leave you and me? |
|
Where does that leave you and me? |
|
Your smile is fading a bit so I ration it |
|
Don't think about it |
