Weeds amongst flowers
Flowers amongst the weeds
Katrina blew in from the deep blue sea

She nearly blew out my life
But she won't take my soul
City of New Orleans are you ready to Rock & Roll?
Renew / Renew / Renew
Renew for life, Tonight

X's on buildings
A FEMA tattoo
Rust stains on the windows
Desperation grew

She nearly blew out my life
But she won't take my soul
City of New Orleans are you ready to Rock & Roll?
Renew / Renew / Renew
Renew for life, Tonight

Flooded cars under the freeway
Naked children in the park
The hurricane's all over
Now the misery starts

She nearly blew out my life
But she won't take my soul
City of New Orleans get ready to Rock & Roll
