(V1) Something different in the air today

Skies are blue but it's not the same
Weatherman says it's on it's way, Got to watch as it gets close
The stores are empty, gas is rare, As everybody gets prepared
The highway's jammed as people flee the coast
We've all been here before; it's time to wait it out
No, this ain't nothing new for this Hurricane town…

(CHORUS)

We've got everything we thought we'd be needing…
Ice so we can keep on making Margaritas
Batteries to keep the music playing loud,
We've got ply boards nailed to the windows
To keep the party safe, when the wind blows
We've all been here before and watched it all come down
No this ain't nothing new for this hurricane town…

(V2) Tie down the boat, hope that it floats,

Take one last look, and that's all she wrote,
Fair weather friends head for higher ground
The sky turns black, the sea looks mad,
Wind whips in, the power goes out,
Waves rise up as the rain comes down
We've all been here before and watched it all get blown around
No this ain't nothing new for this hurricane town…

(CHORUS)

Tourists leave, media arrives,
To tell stories of how we survived,
We'll cleanup the mess till the next one comes around…
No, this ain't nothing new for this hurricane town…
We've all been here before, these days it draws a crowd
No, this ain't nothing new for this hurricane town…
