Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [Violin sings long and low] [One bright guitar note Held] Headlights on the wet black road Wipers keeping crooked time [Verse 1] Storm’s been chasing me all evening Like it knows the shape I’m in Thunder talking in the distance Old companion Old cold friend Yellow lines bend like questions Wind leans hard against the door Radio a quiet stranger Mumbling names I’ve heard before [Chorus] There’s a storm outside And it sounds like my heart Rolling over every broken part Rain on the glass Beating out my sins I keep driving through the dark I’m in Storm outside I let it blow right through Every mile It pulls me back to you [Verse 2] Sign says “Exit ” I keep going Past the town that used to shine Gas tank flirting with empty Like the way you spoke your mind Lightning sketches fields in silver Ghosts of houses Rows of corn For a moment I see your window Then it’s gone back into storm [Chorus] There’s a storm outside And it sounds like my heart Rolling over every broken part Rain on the glass Beating out my sins I keep driving through the dark I’m in Storm outside I let it blow right through Every mile It pulls me back to you [Bridge] Maybe this road Is just circles in the rain (oh) Same old fight Same old ache New state Same pain But I grip that wheel Like I’m holding on to faith Let the sky come down I won’t touch the brake [Chorus] There’s a storm outside And it sounds like my heart Rolling over every broken part Rain on the glass Beating out my sins I keep driving through the dark I’m in Storm outside I let it blow right through If I make it home I’ll tell the truth to you [Outro] [Violin rises over fading thunder] One last high note on the wire Tail lights swallowed by the rain

Slow-burn country-rock ballad, male vocals in a gravelly Leonard Cohen–inspired near-spoken delivery. Solo violin carries a haunting intro melody, answered by a single sustained high-note guitar harmonic and gentle fingerpicked electric. First verse intimate and low, drums entering softly with brushed snare and warm bass. Chorus widens: organ pad, richer guitars, harmony doubles on key phrases. Keep dynamics restrained yet majestic, let the storm sounds and space between notes feel huge., deep, violin, ballad
