The Band - Look Out Cleveland lyrics

Look out, Cleveland
The storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston
There'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still

Was Wednesday evenin' when first
We heard the word
It did not come by train nor bird
T'was when Ben pike stepped down to say
"This old town's gonna blow away"

Look out, Cleveland
The storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston
There'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still
Chain lightnin', frightnin' as it may seem
Must not be mistaken for just another dream


Justice of the peace don't know his own fate
But you'll go down in the shelter late

Look out, Cleveland
The storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston
There'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still

Hidin' your money won't do no good, no good
Build a big wall, you know
You would if you could, yeah
When clouds of warnin' come into view
It'll get the ol' woman right
Outta of her shoe

Look out, Cleveland
The storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston
There'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still
