They we say we?ve got to leave but there?s no way to go
G D
This ain?t the first time we?ve weathered out a storm
G C
And I ain?t got nothing but at least I know it?s mine
Em D
And I?ll be God damned if I?m leaving here before the day I die
C G
So let the rain sting my neck
C Em D
Let the mighty Mississippi take this God forsaken town
C G
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
Em D G
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground

The voices on the radio were cracking off and on
G D
The court is underwater and the levees all but gone
G C
There?s children in the treetops and soldiers in the sky
Em D
It?s too late now to run I?d never make it out alive

G C
Everyone sit tight help is on the way
G D
I don?t think Jr. is going to last another day
G C
We got a sawed off and a red hot .44
Em D
So all you looters best come heavy when you?re knocking on my door
--
G C
X?s on the windows say there?s no one left inside
G D
If you count the painted numbers you?ll know just how many died
G C
And I?m one in half a million so at least I?m not alone
Em D
The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on
C G
So let the rain sting my neck
C Em D
Let the mighty Mississippi take this God forsaken town
C G
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
Em D G
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
