I Love This City
[verse 1]
It was so damn hot, the air so thick
Even Sister Magnolia was wearing nothing but her slips.
Sittin' on the corner waiting for his whites to dry
Spittin' on his shoes, trying to get a little shine
He says:
(chorus)
I love this city, I love it all my life
I was born here and this is where I wanna die
If a hurricane comes, if the levees break
With my one true love I will wash away
[verse 2]
You could hear the music, pourin' out into the streets
With a soul you'll never know, with a look you'll never see
Walk the border walk, like she walk on me
The struggle in her eyes and the flower in her hair
She says:
(chorus)
I love this city, I love it all my life
I was drawn here like water is to the sky
And if the hurricane comes, if the levees break
The lord o' this nation will wash away
[verse 3]
You could see the colours, smell the chicory
You could feel the heart poundin' outta beat
Over in the corner there's an angel singin' songs
To ease a troubled mind and-a help us carry on
(chorus)
I love this city, I love it all my life
I was born here and this is where I wanna die
If a hurricane comes, if the levees break
Then my one true love
Will wash away
(jazz interlude, fades away)

Will wash away
Then my one true love
If a hurricane comes, if the levees break
I was born here and this is where I wanna die
I love this city, I love it all my life

To ease a troubled mind and-a help us carry on
Over in the corner there's an angel singin' songs

You could see the colours, smell the chicory

And if the hurricane comes, if the levees break
I was drawn here like water is to the sky
I love this city, I love it all my life

Walk the border walk, like she walk on me
