Lyrics:
(verse part)
Your smile is fading a bit so I ration it
Don?t think about it
Here where the Mississippi quits
Where its still got a bit of Minnesota in it
No one will give you a thing these days
They?d rather kill it or throw it away
You don?t ?do? dark American streets so
If New Orleans is beat
[(Bm)]If New Orleans is beat
[(G)]If New Orleans is beat
[(D)]If New Orleans is beat
[(Em)]If New Orleans is beat
[(Asus)]Where?s that leave you and me?
(solo part)
