I'm mighty quiet for thunder,
Shut the shutters on my car
She had me eatin from her hand,
The first night in the dark
I did not see the danger,
Not 'til she blew in,
'Til she left me shakin' like a dry leaf,
In a high lonesome wind

Heartbreak hurricane
She's gone but not forgotten,
Lord, I still call her name
Despite the devastation,
Sweet memories remain,
In the wake of a heartbreak hurricane

Instrumental break

I know it may sound crazy,
But every now and then,
I have a yearning that someday,
She'll blow my way again
I know her name spells trouble,
And I know my heart's at stake,
For a chance to win her love,
It's a chance I'm glad to take

Heartbreak hurricane,
She's gone but not forgotten,
Lord, I still call her name
Despite the devastation,
Sweet memories remain,
In the wake of a heartbreak hurricane

Despite the devastation,
Sweet memories remain,
In the wake of a heartbreak hurricane
