[Verse 1]
He rolls in heavy, clouds on his face,
Winds pick up, leaves scatter in the chase.
Thirteen years, man, where you been?
Storm’s your excuse, but we see the spin.
Doors creak open, but they don’t stay,
He checks the walls, then he’s blown away.
We been the shelter, the roof, the ground,
While you’re the thunder that don’t stick around.
[Chorus]
Hurricane dad, blowin’ through town,
Every few years, when the rain comes down.
Never built bridges, just watches 'em drown,
Hurricane dad, gone when the sun comes out.
[Verse 2]
Four years old, he held his hand high,
Said, “Is that my dad, or just the guy in the sky?”
But the man who stayed taught him how to stand,
How to throw a ball, how to be a man.
We patched the leaks, fixed the cracks,
Pulled our weight while you turned your back.
Love ain’t a gust that knocks down doors,
It’s the calm that stays when the storm is ignored.
[Pre-Chorus]
Years pass quick, like sand through glass,
You can’t claim roots when you skip the grass.
