In “Like a Hurricane” Kathy is telling the story of a woman who has had her heart broken by a man and is travelling into the Shenandoah Mountains to try to forget him.
[Verse 1]
A little bit south of West Virginia
The miles go by and the engine roars
I've come so far trying to forget ya
So far from that slamming door
[Verse 2]
Day dawned bright in the Shenandoah
The sky's a cool clear mountain blue
But in my heart there's a thunder rolling
Storm of love that was untrue
[Chorus]
Like a hurricane in my heart
You tore my world apart
Like a dark cloud pouring rain
You blew into my heart like a hurricane
[Verse 3]
If there's peace down in that valley
I believe that's where I'm bound
But if I thought you could still love me
You know I'd turn this truck around
[Chorus]
Like a hurricane in my heart
You tore my world apart
Like a dark cloud pouring rain
You blew into my heart like a hurricane
[Instrumental break]
[Tag]
Like a dark cloud pouring rain
You blew into my heart like a hurricane
