God Forsaken Town Lyrics - Bulletproof - Reckless Kelly

They we say we've got to leave but there's no way to go 

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 leaving here before the day I die 

[Chorus] 

So let the rain sting my neck 

Let the mighty Mississippi take this god-forsaken town 

Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away 

Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground 

The voices on the radio were cracking off and on 

The court is underwater 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 

[Chorus] 

Everyone sit tight help is on the way 

I don't think Jr. is going to last another day 

We got a sawed off and a red hot .44 

So all you looters best come heavy when you?re knocking on my door 

[Chorus] 

(Bridge) 

We all know this crescent city just won't be the same again 

And I'll still be standin' when the saints go marching in 

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 one in half a million so at least I'm not alone 

The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on 

[Chorus] 

So let the rain sting my neck 

Let the mighty Mississippi take this god-forsaken town 

Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away 

Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground 

Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
