(Verse 1)
There’s a storm on the horizon,
Clouds rollin’ in too soon
Boots in the mud, dogs on a trail,
Tailgate hummin’ to a tune
We were chasin’ one more story,
One more night we couldn’t waste
But that wind started whisperin’
“You better get your butt in place”
⸻
(Verse 2)
Phone buzzed in my flannel pocket,
Her name lit up the screen
I could hear it in her silence
Before she said a thing
“I thought you said you’d be home,
Before the sun went down”
Now there’s thunder in her voice
And it's shakin' through me now
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Sky’s turnin’ black, tires spinnin’ fast
Tryin’ to outrun 'em both tonight
One’s comin’ down from the heavens
One’s waitin’ with a fight
⸻
(Chorus)
There’s a storm on the horizon,
Yeah it’s closin’ in tonight
Thunder in the distance,
And lightnin' in her eyes
Rain’s gonna fall, I can feel it in the air
But it ain’t comin’ down yet
Yeah, I might beat the weather…
But I can't outrun that fight
There’s a storm on the horizon…
And it’s waitin’ back home tonight
⸻
(Verse 3)
Wipers barely keepin’ up now,
Heart poundin’ like the rain
Every mile’s a little heavier
With every drop of shame
Should’ve packed it up at daylight,
Should’ve listened when she said
“Don’t make me chase you down again,
Boy, I'm runnin' outta tread.”
⸻
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Headlights lightin' up the drive
Front porch lit like a warning sign
One storm’s passin’ overhead
One’s been buildin’ all this time
⸻
(Chorus)
There’s a storm on the horizon,
Yeah it’s closin’ in tonight
Thunder in the distance,
And lightning in her eyes
Rain’s pourin’ down, but it don’t compare
To the look she’s givin’ me
Yeah, the clouds might clear by mornin’
But she still won't let it be
There’s a storm on the horizon…
And it’s waitin’ back home for me
⸻
(Bridge)
I can handle wind and rain
I’ve been through worse out in the woods
But there ain’t no shelter strong enough
When she feels misunderstood
Yeah a man can face the weather
Stand his ground and take a hit
But the toughest storm I’ve ever known…
Yeah, I'm driving straight into it
⸻
(Final Chorus)
There’s a storm on the horizon,
Yeah it’s closin’ in tonight
Thunder in the distance,
Tears falling from her eyes
Rain’s gonna fall, and I’ll take it all
If it means I make things right
Yeah, I can ride out any weather
If she’s standin’ by my side
There’s a storm on the horizon…
But maybe we’ll survive
