Lyrics

HURRICANE JANE (by Scott Detweiler)

Heard you were a comin
There's rumors in my street
Rain keeps drivin harder
Wind whippin on my trees
Spare me, spare me
My people prayed all day
Spare me, spare me
They'll pray the night away

Hurricane Jane
This ain't your home
Hurricane Jane
So leave me alone
And you can keep your wind and water
Over the Gulf of Mexico
Til you die away

Cars up on the sidewalk
The water's gettin high
Taped up storefront windows
In spider web designs
Spare me, spare me
My people prayed all day
Spare me, spare me
They'll pray the night away

Hurricane Jane
This ain't your home
Hurricane Jane
So leave me alone
And you can keep your wind and water
Over the Gulf of Mexico
Til you die away

You see, I don't wish bad on Biloxi
Or St. Louis Bay
I just want the folks of New Orleans
To see the risin sun
Of the comin day

That's the Hurricane Jane
