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
The night that 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
