Lyrics
IT ?LL TAKE MORE THAN A STORM
Verse 1
He came crashing ashore, in the form of a storm
And, he would call hisself Katrina
Ah, but we all knew she was the devil
As,he took aim at Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana
While he kept on his northerly track
He was constantly looking back
Cause he just knew he had turned the Gulf of Mexico into a sea of tears
Oh, but the joke was on the devil
PRE-CHORUS
BECAUSE WE WERE TAUGHT AT AN EARLY AGE
IF YOU FALL OFF THAT HORSE YOU GET RIGHT BACK ON
AND, YOU FINISH THAT RACE, EVEN IF YOU COME IN LAST PLACE
CHORUS
YEAH, WE MIGHT BEND IN THE WIND, BUT ,WE DON?T BREAK
CAUSE ,IT ?LL TAKE MORE THAN A STORM,TO KEEP THE SOUTH DOWN
,IT ?LL TAKE MORE THAN A STORM
Verse 2
Now, you know how this story goes,
The devil?s tried this once before
When he came in the guise of a civil war
Yeah, he pitted brother against brother
This time we would all brace one another
From New York City, to a small town in Missouri
On A August day Katrina would make history
But,so will we
(repeat) PRE -CHORUS
(repeat) CHORUS
BRIDGE
Long after the storm is gone, the south will remain strong
(repeat) PRE-CHORUS
(repeat) CHORUS
TAG
YOU CAN?T KEEP THE SOUTH DOWN
NO,YOU CAN?T KEEP THE SOUTH DOWN
FADE
IT?LL TAKE MORE THAN A STORM
MUCH MORE THAN A STORM
