Storm Approaching

Weatherman says there's a storm approaching
I'm trying to hitch a ride
but there's no one out on this lonely road tonight
They're all sleeping safe & sound
nestled in their babies' arms
me, I'm ready for the coming of the storm

Let it come and blow all my sins and sorrows away
or let it blow them right up in my face
Everybody's afraid of the storm approaching
staying out of the way of harm
me, I'm ready for a reckoning to come

It's cold here by the highwayside
I can see the neon lure
but I pray that it won't break my will no more
I recall the friends I failed
and the girl that I've done wrong
I hope that memory, too, shall fade before too long

Let the wind come and blow everything I've ever owned apart
so as to match my shattered heart
Everybody's afraid of the storm approaching
and the damage it may bring
I'm hoping it's gonna wipe my slate clean

You may call it false bravado
but I'm being as truthful as I can
You may call these measures desperate
well, I'm a desperate man

Everybody's afraid of the storm approaching
staying out of the way of harm
me, I'm waiting for the coming of the storm
