New Orleans - Deadman

I cried when I heard about New Orleans

I cried when I heard about New Orleans

So much destruction the likes you’ve never seen

And you just want to go back to how she used to be

The streets are soaked and only darkness down in New Orleans

The streets are soaked and only darkness down in New Orleans

And it’s bringing out the demons you see

It turns refugees into thieves

I wept for a man who had lost his wife

I wept for a man who had lost his wife

He said he tried to hold on to save her life

But the water was too strong that she slipped away into the night

When the people saw don down in New Orleans

When the people saw don down in New Orleans

The river ran over the homes of men

And the feelings of conscience settle in

It’s been a while since I last saw New Orleans

It’s been a while since I last saw New Orleans

And I regret that she’ll be forever changed

She’s wounded and never be the same

I cried when I heard about New Orleans

I cried when I heard about New Orleans

So much destruction the likes you’ve never seen

Under years that just began to sing

And you just want to get back to New Orleans

I hope we can get back to New Orleans
