(V1) Something different in the air today

Skies are blue but it's not the same

Weatherman says it's on it's way, Got to watch as it gets close

The stores are empty, gas is rare, As everybody gets prepared

The highway's jammed as people flee the coast

We've all been here before; it's time to wait it out

No, this ain't nothing new for this Hurricane town….



(CHORUS)

We've got everything we thought we'd be needing….

Ice so we can keep on making Margaritas

Batteries to keep the music playing loud,

We've got ply boards nailed to the windows 

To keep the party safe, when the wind blows

We've all been here before and watched it all come down

No this ain't nothing new for this hurricane town….



(V2) Tie down the boat, hope that it floats,

Take one last look, and that's all she wrote,

Fair weather friends head for higher ground

The sky turns black, the sea looks mad,

Wind whips in, the power goes out,

Waves rise up as the rain comes down

We've all been here before and watched it all get blown around

No this ain't nothing new for this hurricane town…



(CHORUS)



Tourists leave, media arrives, 

To tell stories of how we survived,

We'll cleanup the mess till the next one comes around…

No, this ain't nothing new for this hurricane town…

We've all been here before, these days it draws a crowd

No, this ain't nothing new for this hurricane town…
