Orphan of the Storm (Mudcrutch Cover)

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, Mudcrutch (love the name) before it became TomPetty and the Heartbreakers.  Hope you enjoy.   Willie

An orphan of the storm She moved to Houston
To live below that copper coloured sky
Louisiana girl born into losing
The skyline of the city made her cry

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 that same old street again
Yeah that hurricane it blew her back to Houston
Had to give into the Devil's howling wind

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

Instrumental

Now somewhere down the line there must be salvation
She thought it through twenty years ago
But sin spoke a constant invitation
It was in her veins and wouldn't let her go

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
Lord I'm just an orphan of the storm
Lord I'm just an orphan of the storm

Nice one Willie, Really well performed, as always.
I don't know the original but I certainly enjoyed this,
Puts me in mind of Lying Eyes a bit.
Some nice guitar work.

I remember the band name from the TP Documentary (like 3 or 4 hours long) and how they started down in Gainesville.
I'm not familiar with any of the music they recorded back then, but you have a really nice piece here Willie. It has that TP feel.
Nice Country-Rock song and great harmonies.
