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
