About

This song uses imagery of Hurricane Katrina to create an allegory for the struggles of life and rising above them by ‘flying a flag of hope’.

The imagery starts with the Air Force looking down on a patchwork of blue tarps. After Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers oversaw Operation Blue Roof...

Blue Tarp Blues Lyrics

Air Force One
Had a heck of a view
Air Force One
Had a heck of a view
Looking down on the patchwork
Of the blue tarp blues

I walking thorough the waters
With a leak in my shoe
I walking thorough the waters
With a leak in my shoe
That hole in my soul
Give me the blue tarp blues

I got the blues
I got the blue tarp blues

There's a crack in the ceiling
And the cistern too
There's a crack in the ceiling
And the cistern too
We got full coverage
Of the blue tarp blues

I got the blues
I got the blue tarp blues

No it wasn't the weather
That sank me and you
It was a bad mix of
Politics, greed and booze
That levy of lies
Couldn't hold back the truth
We're in deep and not out of reach
Focus optimistically

I'm going to fly my colors and watch for you
I'm going to fly my colors and watch for you
Like a flag of hope
Above the blue tarp blues

I got the blues
I got the blue tarp blues
I got the blues
I got the blue tarp blues
