there's a hurricane

there's a hurricane

the winds blow out of Africa
across the ocean they scream
some say there's a hurricane
look'n for New Orleans

an' there's a hurricane
it's a comin'
comin' for New Orleans
there's a hurricane
there's a hurricane
an' across the ocean it screams

levee broke late last night
the water came with the sun
not much seems to matter
everything came undone

an' the big easy ain't at ease right now
under water it lays
the big easy ain't so easy now
once the levees gave way

an' there's a hurricane
come a runnin'
runnin' for New Orleans
there's a hurricane
there's a hurricane
washed away a million dreams

an' the big easy ain't so easy now
under water it lays
the magnolia trees watch over
a land where a hurricane waved
