Storm On The Horizon

(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
