[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
