Heartbreak Hurricane Lyrics

Ricky Skaggs Heartbreak Hurricane

I'm mighty quiet for thunder
Shut the shutters on my car
She had me eatin' from her hand
The first night in the dark

I did not see the danger
But 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

II 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
