Tears in my eyes.
What has happened down here is the wind have changed Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain Rained real hard and rained for a real long time Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day The river rose all night Some people got lost in the flood Some people got away alright The river have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne
CHORUS Louisiana, Louisiana They're tyrin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away Louisiana, Louisiana They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done To this poor crackers land."
CHORUS

2. First thing this morning |

I got up and put that one on the CD player. And cried like a baby for the entire Gulf Coast and for us all. For we are all in trouble now.

Poco's "Heart of the Night." I loved this song when I was junior high.
In the heart of the night In the cool southern rain There's a full moon in sight Shining down on the Pontchartrain
And the river she rises Like she used to do She's so full of surprises She reminds me of you In the heart of the night
There's a nightbird singing Right on through till the dawn And the streets are still ringing With people carrying on
It's been so long waiting Just to be here again Anticipating All the time I could spend In the heart of the night down in New Orleans In the heart of the night down in New Orleans
And I trust in your love never falling down And I trust in your love Just like I do in this town never falling down
And I'm so glad to be back in New Orleans Please don't wake me, don't shake me, If this is only just a dream It's the only place I can face that feels so right Below that Dixie moon and loving you In the Heart of the Night
