I knew when she flew in she wouldn't stay Every now and then God makes one that a way Red-haired, wild-child, with storms in her eyes I knew I'd never be the same That's the thing about a hurricane She's all lightnin', and wind and rain Get's you 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 She said she was a runnin' from her past Every breath she stole felt like my last And her kiss told me, "Better get outta there" But I was too far to care And that's the thing about a hurricane She's all lightnin', and wind and rain Get's you 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 Now even in blue skies, there ain't no forgettin' Is it any wonder they name em after women? And that's the thing about a hurricane She's all lightnin', and wind and rain Get's you 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
