If New Orleans Is Beat Lyrics - Tragically Hip

Your smile is fading a bit 

So I ration it 

Don't think about it 

Here where the Mississippi quits 

Where it's 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 

If New Orleans is beat 

If New Orleans is beat 

If New Orleans is beat 

If New Orleans is beat 

Where's that leave you and me? 

The river takes and takes, takes and takes 

It doesn't change and only changes 

See it there in a picture with me 

There's a caption beneath 

"New Orleans is beat" 

And if New Orleans is beat 

If New Orleans is beat 

If New Orleans is beat 

If New Orleans is beat 

Where's that leave you and me? 

Where's that leave you and me? 

Where's that leave you and me?
