Lighting flashing all around me
Thunder rolling up behind
Big blue clouds all full of lonely
Full of tears to make me blind
I can't let her memory catch me
I can't stop to cry or moan
I'm just running down the highway
One jump ahead of the storm
One jump ahead of the crying
One jump ahead of her cold deceiving arms
One jump ahead of her lying
One jump ahead of the storm
One day I looked on the horizon
And saw her love just wouldn't last
Before my mind was torn to pieces
I had to leave and get out fast
And so I slipped out of her power
I saw my chance and now I'm gone
Before the rain could start a falling
One jump ahead of the storm
One jump ahead of the crying
One jump ahead of her cold deceiving arms
One jump ahead of her lying
One jump ahead of the storm
Baby, I'm one jump
Ahead of the storm
Baby, I'm one jump
Ahead of the storm
Baby, I'm one jump
Ahead of the storm
Honey, I'm one jump
Ahead of the storm
I told you I'm one jump
Ahead of the storm
