Bio
Lyrics
Spring of ‘96
Almost 26
When I rode her out
Early warning
Hit by morning
Grabbed a bottle and my axe
That night I prayed
You should have stayed
Chorus
Waiting for the hurricane
Like the night that Jesus came
Waiting for the hurricane
Hurry up and wait – hurry up and wait
(V2)
Inland kid
Don’t know what I did
Didn’t know the ropes
Boarded up
Shuttered down
Every window, every hatch
That night I prayed
You should have stayed
Chorus
Waiting for the hurricane
Like the night that Jesus came
Waiting for the hurricane
Hurry up and wait – hurry up and wait
Almost 26
When I rode her out
Early warning
Hit by morning
Grabbed a bottle and my axe
That night I prayed
You should have stayed
Chorus
Waiting for the hurricane
Like the night that Jesus came
Waiting for the hurricane
Hurry up and wait – hurry up and wait
(V2)
Inland kid
Don’t know what I did
Didn’t know the ropes
Boarded up
Shuttered down
Every window, every hatch
That night I prayed
You should have stayed
Chorus
Waiting for the hurricane
Like the night that Jesus came
Waiting for the hurricane
Hurry up and wait – hurry up and wait
