Lyrics

Levi's overflowed her banks, there is no sacred ground.
I've lived near Lake Ponchetrain ever since I was a child.
There's water to the rooftops, I can see for many miles, I can't stop that hurricane, I wish that I knew how.
I can't stop that hurricane.
I haven't seen your face for oh, so many days.
I can't stop that hurricane, I just can't stop that hurricane.
The sky is dark and you say, "Girl, just save yourself."
If you try to look back, you will see what hell is.
Shrimp boats and the barges, oil rigs, refineries.
I know that I have to go, but my heart will never leave.
I can't stop that hurricane.
I haven't seen your face for oh, so many days.
I can't stop that hurricane, I just can't stop that hurricane.
Babies cryin' all around, my body's gettin' numb, I can't stop that hurricane, I know it's gonna come.
Don't know what tomorrow brings, don't know if I'll be saved, I can't stop that hurricane, I wish there was a way.
I can't stop that hurricane, I haven't seen your face for oh, so many days.
I can't stop that hurricane, I just can't stop that hurricane, that hurricane.
