Heartbreak Hurricane Lyrics - Ricky Skaggs

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, 

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.
