Home

It's hard in St. Bernard there's tears in Algiers

If you're calling for New Orleans

There's nobody here

So fix yourself a drink

Pack your things and go

Last one out turn off the lights and board up the doors

I want to go home whatever it takes

I want to go home when the levee breaks

I want to go home where the streets have holes

I want to go home where the good times roll

The Ninth Ward's disappeared the Treme's overflowed

It's Dante's Inferno

In the Superdome

The inhumanity of this insanity

Could have been prevented

Oh so easily

My heart is heavy feet everywhere it seems

This time even fats ain't walking back to New Orleans

I want to go home whatever it takes

I want to go home when the levee breaks

I want to go home where the streets have holes

I want to go home where the good times roll

The world is gonna pay 'cause we'll be everywhere

There'll be dancing in your streets

Music in your air

But when that water starts to fall you won't see us around

Unles you're buying drinks for us in our home town

I want to go home whatever it takes

I want to go home when the levee breaks

I want to go home where the streets have holes

I want to go home where the good times roll
