Here’s my take: june bugs and hurricanes are both drinks. When she sings “june bug vs. hurricane,” she is mulling over what drink she wants to have to try to drown out the memory of her lost lover. The song to me is all about choices, big and small. And I am always left wondering if she regrets the choice she made on the heights of that bridge.

Layered, atmospheric, dripping with Southern imagery, heart-wrenching… this is my favorite Lucinda Williams song.
