Goddamn Hurricane
Dancing Through Despair: Goddamn Hurricane's Heartfelt Tale
Lyrics
We got word just the other day
We received news recently
Big wind is coming and we can't stay
A powerful storm is approaching, and we cannot remain in our current location
My paw paw said this time we're moving away
My grandfather mentioned that this time we are relocating
from the Goddamn hurricane
Referring to the intense hurricane with frustration
No more Boudin or jambalaya
No more access to traditional Louisiana dishes like Boudin or jambalaya
Houston ain't known for their red beans and rice
Houston lacks renown for dishes like red beans and rice
And what they call gumbo oughta be a crime
Criticizing the quality of what is labeled as gumbo in Houston
The Goddamn hurricane
Reiterating frustration with the devastating hurricane
And the wind did blow through the bayou vermillion
Describing the hurricane's impact on the Bayou Vermilion
And I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the possibility of reunion
If I'll ever see you again
Unsure if there will be another meeting
My little Creole girl
Addressing a significant other from Creole descent
Won't ever be the same
Stating that the person will be forever changed by the hurricane
Oh the Goddamn hurricane
Reiterating frustration and emphasis on the hurricane's impact
She come running through the turkey grass
Depicting a woman running through the turkey grass
Dark hair and eyes with skin to match
Describing her physical attributes - dark hair, eyes, and matching skin
We cried a little bit then she started to laugh
Experiencing a mix of emotions, laughter following some tears
About the Goddamn hurricane
Reflecting on the hurricane with frustration
No more dancing to the zydeco
No more enjoying the zydeco music through dancing
You better get used to the Tejano
Adapting to the Tex-Mex music scene, particularly Tejano
She said she's going to her auntie's up in Tupelo
She's going to her aunt's place in Tupelo
The Goddamn hurricane
Emphasizing frustration with the hurricane
And the wind did blow through the bayou vermillion
Repetition of the hurricane's impact on Bayou Vermilion
And I don't know
Uncertain about the possibility of a future encounter
If I'll ever see you again
Reiterating uncertainty about seeing the Creole girl again
My little Creole girl
Referencing the impact of the hurricane on the Creole girl
Won't ever be the same
Concluding that she won't be the same after the hurricane
Oh the Goddamn hurricane
Final emphasis on the frustration and impact of the hurricane
