John Schneider - In the Shelter (The Cajun Navy) Lyrics

It was a storm that didn't have a name

Rained for 3 long days & nights

People stranded on roof tops

with no help in sight.

So we powered up our Evinrude's

and did what we do best

Said a prayer on our way out

and let the good Lord do the rest! 

So hang on Louisiana

You can bet we got your back!

No bureaucratic BS

Gonna stop us in our tracks!

Cause when the water rises

will be back again,

We're the Cajun Navy....

Of South Louisiane

We might have lost our homes

But we ain't lost our grit!

We're like minute men..

 been through a lot of a shit

But one thing you can bet on,

From the thousands of these boats!

will be their ,to save your ass

When you're at, the end of your rope!!!

Now listen here you lawmakers

and you too, Uncle sam,

We're just here to help our own

and lend a helping hand!

But if you're gonna draw the line 

and try to block our way...

One thing you can count on!

there'll be hell to pay!!!
