As I walk my city streets at night
Back in New Orleans

Since Katrina has passed

A new life to begin
With a touching heart

With the PROJECT’S now gone
Now turned into CONDO’S

For the white rich to live
Who feel no sorrow

The blacks have been beaten
From the life that they know

Only to find happiness
With a new place to go

As I wonder my city streets
Bourbon and Orleans
Is the place for me

A place that never stops
The parties of parties

It’s my home town
The place I want to be
