Once upon a time
I lived a happy life
I had a happly little home
I had a happy wife
Then a big storm came
And washed it all away
Turned my whole world upside down
And left it all to waste
When the water all subsided
Hell, she subsided to
It left just me, myself, and I
To somehow see it through
So call me a survivor
Call me a refugee
It's hard to keep a good man down
So don't shed a tear for me
You can blame it on Katrina
Blame it on FEMA
Blame it on the powers that be
You can blame it on Katrina
Blame it on FEMA
But baby, don't blame it on me
So hard to keep on moving
And I can't get very far
'Cause the storm surge and salt-water
They even killed my car
Still, I keep on truckin'
When there ain't nowhere to go
Places say, "no vacancies"
And every door is closed
You might call me "poor white trash"
But you ain't looking out for me
Still got a little money

I try to put it back together
But everywhere I turn
Every match that I play with
I always get burned
You can blame it on Katrina
Blame it on FEMA
Blame it on the powers that be
You can blame it on Katrina
Blame it on FEMA
But baby, don't blame it on me
Some folks with lots of money
Have move on with their lives
Some folks now have happy homes
Some folks now have happy lives
I got two girl-friends
Seems they're always in my hair
Wish I could get them both together
And make a happy pair
Nothing but a pipe-dream
But through time and space I see
I know that somewhere out there
A Sunflower smiles for me
One day I'll break these shackles
Yeah, I'll turn it all around
'Cause you know back in the day
I was the king of this town
You can blame it on Katrina
Blame it on FEMA
Blame it on the powers that be
You can blame it on Katrina
Blame it on FEMA
But baby, don't blame it on me
