If New Orleans Is Beat
Your smile is fading a bit
So I ration it
Dont think about it
Here where the Mississippi quits
Where its still got a bit
Of Minnesota in it
No one will give you a thing these days
Theyd rather kill it or throw it away
You dont '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
Wheres that leave you and me?
The river takes and takes, takes and takes
It doesnt change and only changes
See it there in a picture with me
Theres 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
Wheres that leave you and me?
Wheres that leave you and me?
Wheres that leave you and me?
Your smile is fading a bit
So I ration it
Try not to think about it
