I knew when she blew in she wouldn't stay

Every now and then god makes one that way

A red head, wild child with storms in her eyes

I knew I'd never be the same.

[Chorus]

That's the thing about a hurricane

She's all lightning and wind and rain

Get too close and you're swept away

Better hold on till it breaks

Cause it's a hell of a ride if you can just survive the pain

But that's the thing about a hurricane.

She said she was running from her past

And every breath she stole felt like my last

Her kiss told me better get on out of here

But I was too far gone to care.

[Chorus]

That's the thing about a hurricane

She's all lightning and wind and rain

Get too close and you're swept away

Better hold on till it breaks

Cause it's a hell of a ride if you can just survive the pain

But that's the thing about a hurricane.

[Bridge]

Even in blue skies there ain't no forgettin'

Is it any wonder they name 'em after women.

[Chorus]

That's the thing about a hurricane

She's all lightning and wind and rain

Get too close and you're swept away

Better hold on till it breaks

Cause it's a hell of a ride if you can just survive the pain

But that's the thing about a hurricane.
