One Step Ahead of The Storm

Broke down on the interstate just outside of Wichita
I said, don't worry baby it'll be alright
Two young and crazy kids who thought we knew it all
California hunger in our eyes

I could smell the rain, I could feel the wind
I could see the clouds rollin' in
But in the arms of love we stayed safe and warm
One step ahead of the storm

Our California dreams went south
So we headed east to Baton Rouge
You said, don't worry baby it'll be alright
Louisiana holds a brighter day had my doubts to tell the truth
But through it all you were right there by my side

I could smell the rain, I could feel the wind
I could see the clouds rollin' in
But in the arms of love we stayed safe and warm
One step ahead of the storm

Hard times knocking at your door
From the cradle to the grave
You gotta fight like the devil
Just to keep the wolves at bay

Hey, I could smell the rain, I could feel the wind
I could see the clouds rollin' in
But in the arms of love we stayed safe and warm
One step ahead of the storm
We were one step ahead of the storm
