I got two little kids in a broke down car,
on the side of the road in view of the Texaco star.
I spent all on my money on water and food,
got Willie on the radio singing those country blues.
Well I had a good job down in New Orleans,
once I was a citizen,now I’m a refugee.
I can’t go back,can’t move ahead.
Tried to make a call but I can’t ‘cause
my goddamned cellphone’s dead.
I’m just five minutes from America,
I see it very clear.
I’m just five minutes from America
but you can’t get there from here.
I kept up with the Jones’ wherever they are.
I had some real nice neighbors had me a big back yard.
Now I’m watching the world pass me by
like I’m an immigrant on the move.
Saw the roof of my house on the TV sitting in my motel room.
Back down the road a policeman smiled then he offered his hand.
He said welcome stranger but you really can’t stay here man.
On up ahead there’s some opportunities,
you can find ‘em everywhere.
Maybe go to Houston,there’s a lot of you there.
Willie sang blues eyes crying in the rain
out in Luchenbach Texas,they ain’t feeling no pain.
But in the back of my head, the waves still pound,
when the levee broke the music stopped.
And the world was watching as hell came down. |
