Lyrics
Red Eyes
When you tell your Katrina tales,
To your friends man it never fails,
No matter how hard you try,
Can?t keep your, can?t keep your eyes dry,
When you look your friends right in the eye,
No need to wonder why,
Easy to see what?s on their mind,
And why there?s red eyes all over my hometown,
Even if you were high and dry,
You know you got those guilty eyes,
See your friends and what their been through,
Man you know you get those, those red eyes too,
Red eyes in Lakeview, red eyes in the East too,
Red eyes down in St. Bernard,
Red eyes all over my hometown,
Red eyes in Gentily,
Red eyes in Mid-City,
Red eyes all over my hometown,
So when you tell your Katrina tales,
To your friends man it never fails,
No matter how hard you try,
Just can?t hide those red eyes,
Cause their red eyes all over my hometown,
