Story Behind The Song

Everything in the song is true. It was a really bad week, but then I realized....who cares. It all really comes down to what's important - the people you love and who love you back. By the way, this was written before Hurrican Katrina, so in no way is

Song Description

No matter what goes wrong, the woman singing will always be ok as long as she is loved by her man and loves him back.

Lyrics

BARBECUE IN A HURRICANE - B. Warren

No one fessed up when they messed up
And left the bath(room) faucet on
It started raining through the ceiling
Down in our garage
The sheet rock and insulation all had to come down
But (me)- I thanked my lucky stars, nobody drowned

Chorus

Cuz my -life?s like a barbecue in a hurricane ,
a new pink suit with a gravy stain
Like my brown suede boots caught in the rain
But there is some good news, Baby, when I?m with you,
Life?s as sweet as sugarcane, even when it?s like a barbecue in a hurricane

It was midnight, car was in drive
When suddenly it went dead
I called for a tow, said ?I need you, Joe?
Couldn?t believe what he said
? Honey, my rig?s shot, transmission?s blown, (my rig is blown) can?t pick you up?
Well here we go again (I thought to myself) - Ain?t that just my luck?..

Chorus: repeat
Yeah my life?s like?. Etc.
Bridge:
Yesterday my burgers burned; today the grill?s outta gas
But long as I got you, I?ve learned, life?s great any way it is

Chorus:
Even when it?s like a barbecue in a hurricane?
