One Jump Ahead Of The Storm

Lightning's flashing all around me,
Thunder's rolling up behind.
Big blue clouds are going to roll in
Full of tears and make me blind.

I can't let her memory catch me.
I can't stop to cry no more.
I'm just running down the highway,
One jump ahead of the storm.

One jump ahead of her crying,
One jump ahead of her cold cheating arm.
One jump ahead of her lying,
One jump ahead of the storm.

One day I looked on the horizon,
Saw her love just couldn't last.
Oh, my mind was torn to pieces.
I had to leave and get out fast.

And so I slipped out of her power.
I saw my chance and I was gone
Before the rain could start to falling.
One jump ahead of the storm.

Chorus

I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.

I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
