(V1) Something different in the air today
|
Skies are blue but it¡¯s not the same
|
Weatherman says it¡¯s on it¡¯s way, Got to watch as it gets close
|
The stores are empty, gas is rare, As everybody gets prepared
|
The highway¡¯s jammed as people flee the coast
|
We¡¯ve all been here before; it¡¯s time to wait it out
|
No, this ain¡¯t nothing new for this Hurricane town¡¦.
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
We¡¯ve got everything we thought we¡¯d be needing¡¦.
|
Ice so we can keep on making Margaritas
|
Batteries to keep the music playing loud,
|
We¡¯ve got ply boards nailed to the windows
|
To keep the party safe, when the wind blows
|
We¡¯ve all been here before and watched it all come down
|
No this ain¡¯t nothing new for this hurricane town¡¦.
|
|
(V2) Tie down the boat, hope that it floats,
|
Take one last look, and that¡¯s all she wrote,
|
Fair weather friends head for higher ground
|
The sky turns black, the sea looks mad,
|
Wind whips in, the power goes out,
|
Waves rise up as the rain comes down
|
We¡¯ve all been here before and watched it all get blown around
|
No this ain¡¯t nothing new for this hurricane town¡¦
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
Tourists leave, media arrives,
|
To tell stories of how we survived,
|
We¡¯ll cleanup the mess till the next one comes around¡¦
|
No, this ain¡¯t nothing new for this hurricane town¡¦
|
We¡¯ve all been here before, these days it draws a crowd
|
No, this ain¡¯t nothing new for this hurricane town¡¦
