When the sea sent me a hurricane I survived
Through a hole in my roof I saw a black sky
I got water through the floor and a boat through the door
I can’t call that a home no more
When the sea sent me a hurricane, I survived
The devil took my Daddy but I survived
See Daddy took to drinking, me-oh-my!
I survived his cussin’, his drinkin’, his sin
But I can’t say the same for him
The devil took my Daddy, I’ll survive
The war took my brother, I’ll survive
He was serving his country in the front line
He died by a bullet, friend or foe?
The U.S. Government still don’t know
Someone killed my brother I don’t know why
Jesus took my baby, why Lord why?
Oh why Lord him, and not I?
A life would end before it’d start
No greater pain for a parent’s heart
Jesus took my baby and only he knows why
Now you standing at my door saying you leaving tonight
You know you ain’t ever been worth one tear from my eye
You call me cheap and worthless down by the bar
Who the hell do you think you are?
You want to leave get to steppin’ tonight
I’m not gonna say it again, good-bye
Let me say it loud and clear:
Without you I know I can survive

At first I was a bit hesitant, thinking "This sounds like Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface." and then I thought: "Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface would be AWESOME." System_Error
