This City Lyrics

[Treme: Music From The HBO Original Series]
This city won't wash away This city won't ever drown Blood in the water and hell to pay Sky turned gray when the pain rained down
Doesn't matter, let come what may I ain't ever going to leave this town This city won't wash away This city wont' ever drown.
Ain't the river or the wind to blame As everybody around here knows. Nothing holding back Pontchatrain Except a prayer and a promise's ghost
This town's digging our graves [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/this-city-lyrics-steve-earle.html ] In solid marble above the ground Maybe our bones will wash away This city won't ever drown
This city won't ever die Just as long as our heart be strong Like a second line stepping high Raising hell as we roll along Gentilly to Vieux Carre Lower 9, Central City, Uptown Singing Jockamo fee nane
This city won't ever drown.
Don't matter cause there ain't no way I'm ever going to leave this town. This city won't wash away, This city won't ever drown.
