Big Storm
It’s a wide spot in the road I was born here years ago
Just a country boy who learned how to survive
Nothing much ever happened here and nobody seemed to care
The biggest news was the storm of 95
That day the sun disappeared nobody knew why or knew where
It grew silent and almost scared folks to death
And God fearing people they fell on their knees and prayed
Dad stood on the porch and this is what he said
(Chorus)
I can see the lightin’ I can hear the thunder
A big storm’s comin’ look over yonder
The ground’s gonna shake the rain will come down, down, down
Gonna be a big storm in this little old town
(Inst. Turn Around)
Well the storm took everything those poor families owned that day
Like Noah’s time the rain washed it all away
We built it back and built it better in our little town
Now when I see dark clouds this is what I say
(Chorus)
I can see the lightin’ I can hear the thunder
A big storm’s comin’ look over yonder
The ground’s gonna shake the rain will come down, down, down
Gonna be a big storm in this little old town
(Bridge)
Can’t forget Daddy’s lesson from back in 95
If a storm leaves you standing a strong man will survive
(Chorus)
I can see the lightin’ I can hear the thunder
A big storm’s comin’ look over yonder
The ground’s gonna shake the rain will come down, down, down
Gonna be a big storm in this little old town
(Tag)
Yeah there’s gonna be a big storm
In this little old town
