John Lovick Turner - After Ivan Lyrics

Ivan made the big wind blow
Ivan brought the rain
He came through in September
Leaving sufferin' and pain
He blew up the Caribbean
Flooded the Yucatan
Spun into the Gulf of Mexico
Like a street fightin' man
After Ivan
Only one thing left to loose
After Ivan

He drifted north toward Mobile
Gettin' stronger everyday
It's like he was on a mission
And we were standin' in his way
I thought about my baby girl
I thought about my wife
I stacked sand bags past midnight
I thought about my life
After Ivan
Only one thing left to loose
After Ivan

He came across the sound as the tide was risin'
Waves as big as mountains and the air was filled with glass
The I-10 bridge went down concrete crashin'
Ninety souls are finally home at last
After Ivan

We found a sting ray in the bedroom
There was a sailboat on the lawn
My neighbor's house was in the bay
The Cherokee was gone
The sun was shinin' in the sky
It was 85 and clear
And Ivan was kickin' Atlanta's *
Three hundred miles from here
After Ivan
After Ivan

He came across the sound as the tide was risin'
Waves as big as mountains and the air was filled with glass
The I-10 bridge went down concrete crashin'
Ninety souls are finally home at last
After Ivan
After Ivan
Ooh ooh
After Ivan
After Ivan
Ooh ooh
