Lyrics
Hurricane Blues
Wind is kickin up barometer?s dropping down
Now the sea is raging it?s time to get out of town
I got the hurricane blues the hurricane blues
This aint no depression this boy?s a number five
You?d better find some shelter if you want to stay alive
What?ll I do I got the hurricane blues
Head up to the mainland up past the Everglades
There?s a roadblock in Miami got to find me another way
Cause I can?t get through I got the hurricane blues
Andrew Donna Charley names mean nothing to me
The storm of ?35 put the highway in the sea
Boats swallowed by the ocean the sky a swirling mass
I?ve got to find some place to go out here I won?t last
Cause I can?t escape these hurricane blues
Got its? sights on Homestead heading up through the Keys
Gonna barrel through Daytona and flood St. Augustine
Well it?s on its? way it?s coming for me
Now that storm is here I look him in the eye
He said you?d better run unless you want to die
Mother nature?s wrath opened up on me
I cried out to God won?t you have some sympathy
And help me through these hurricane blues
That storm it raged and plundered it took everything in its? path
I lost my possessions but I?m still alive to laugh
Cause I made it through those hurricane blues
I survived those hurricane blues
