"That's The Thing About Hurricane" lyrics

[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.
