One Step Ahead Of The Storm

Broke down on the interstate just outside of Wichita

I said dont' 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 rolling 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...

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...

Oh we were one step ahead of the storm
