Tragically Hip - If New Orleans Is Beat lyrics

rate me

Your smile is fading a bit so I ration it

don't 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

they'd rather kill it or throw it away

you don't '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

where's that leave you and me?

The river takes takes takes and takes

it doesn't change and only changes

see it there in a picture with me

there's 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

where's that leave you and me?

where's that leave you and me?

where's that leave you and me?

your smile is fading a bit so I ration it

try not to think about it
