Lyrics
Crossfire Hurricane
VERSE 1
I see four ancient warriors
Dancing on a stage.
They’re singing songs from long ago
Of a crossfire hurricane.
CHORUS
They’ve paid their dues and done their time
They’ve lived the life and crossed the line.
They’ve stared the Devil in the eye
And braved the raging hurricane.
REFRAIN 1
Crossfire hurricane
Whatever that might be…..
It’s a crossfire hurricane
Hey, Bill, did you have to leave?
CHORUS
They’ve paid their dues and done their time
They’ve lived the life and crossed the line.
They’ve stared the Devil in the eye
And braved the raging hurricane.
VERSE 3
He laid her in Port Said and New York City
But she’s on his mind.
At his age, who can blame him some self-pity -
He’s simply out of time.
CHORUS
They’ve paid their dues and done their time
They’ve lived the life and crossed the line.
They’ve stared the Devil in the eye
And braved the raging hurricane.
REFRAIN 2
Crossfire hurricane
Whatever that might be.
It’s a crossfire hurricane
Oi, Ronnie, why the small face?
REFRAIN 3
Crossfire hurricane
Whatever that might be.
It’s a crossfire hurricane
Hey, Keith, get outta that tree!
