Even if it sinks into the ocean, the city will still get its due. You may hate it here, but you can't escape ('Heaven help the one who leaves') so long as you're empty-handed."This song features background vocals from Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche of The Beach Boys as well as Jackson Browne and J.D. Souther. When conducting the string section for this song, Zevon kept the veteran players "on his side" with pre-written humor.
