[Verse 1]

I knew when she blew in she wouldn't stay.

Every now and then god makes one that way.

Red-haired 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 lightnin', 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.

That's the thing about a hurricane.

[Verse 2]

She said she was a runnin' from her past.

And every breath she stole felt like my last.

And her kiss told me, 'better get on out of there,'

But I was too far gone to care.

[Chorus]

That's the thing about a hurricane.

She's all lightnin', 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.

That's the thing about a hurricane.

[Verse 3]

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 lightnin', 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.

That's the thing about a hurricane.
