Heartbreak Hurricane

(Jim Rushing - Larry Cordle)



A mighty clap of thunder,

Shook the shutters on my heart.

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.

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.



In the wake of a heartbreak hurricane.

Hurricane, hurricane...
