Standard (EADGBE)

 An orphan of the storm

 She moved to Houston

 To live below

 That copper colored sky

 Louisiana girl

 Born into losing

 The skyline of the city

 Made her cry

(Chorus)

 So lord send me down

 A fallen angel

 With a miracle to perform

 And I ain't the kind

 Who gives up

 But I'm so tired of rain

 Lord I'm just an

Orphan of the storm

She'd lived there before

When she was using

Now she's standing on

The same old street again

Yeah that hurricane

It blew her back to Houston

Had to give into

The devil's howling wind

(Chorus)

Now somewhere down the line

There must be salvation

She thought it through

20 years ago

But sin spoke

A constant invitation

It was in her veins

And wouldn't let her go

(Chorus 2x)
