[00:00.00]I Love this City - May Erlewine
[00:04.92]Written by:May Erlewine
[00:09.85]It was so d**n hot
[00:13.23]The air so thick
[00:17.27]Even sister magnolia
[00:21.02]Was wearing nothing but her slips
[00:25.13]Sittin' on the corner waiting for his whites to dry
[00:32.47]Spittin' on his shoes
[00:35.92]Trying to get a little shine
[00:38.53]He says
[00:39.78]I love this city I love it all my life
[00:47.48]I was born here and this is where I wanna die
[00:54.63]If a hurricane comes if the levees break
[01:01.94]With my one true love
[01:05.96]I will wash away
[01:17.47]You could hear the music
[01:21.14]Pourin' out into the streets
[01:24.98]With a soul you'll never know
[01:28.44]With a look you'll never see
[01:32.71]Walk the border walk
[01:35.71]Like she walk on me
[01:40.18]The struggle in her eyes and the flower in her hair
[01:46.34]She says
[01:47.52]I love this city
[01:51.12]I love it all my life
[01:55.30]I was drawn here like water is to the sky
[02:02.37]And if the hurricane comes if the levees break
[02:09.84]The lord o' this nation
[02:13.62]Will wash away
[02:56.01]You could see the colours
[02:59.79]Smell the chicory
[03:03.23]You could feel the heart
[03:07.51]Poundin' outta beat
[03:11.28]Over in the corner there's an angel singin' songs
[03:18.81]To ease a troubled mind and a help us carry on
[03:26.47]I love this city I love it all my life
[03:33.69]I was born here and this is where I wanna die
[03:41.39]If a hurricane comes
[03:44.96]If the levees break
[03:48.76]Then my one true love
[03:52.35]Will wash away
