Lightning's flashing all around me
Thunder's rolling up behind
Big blue clouds are going to roll in
Full of tears and make me blind
I can't let her man recatch me
I can't stop to cry no more
I'm just running down the highway
One jump ahead of the storm
One jump ahead of her crying
One jump ahead of her cold cheating arm
One jump ahead of her lying
One jump ahead of the storm
One day I looked on the horizon
Saw her love just couldn't last
Oh, 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 I was gone
Before the rain could start to falling
One jump ahead of the storm
I was one jump ahead of the storm
Just one jump ahead of the storm
I was one jump ahead of the storm
Just one jump ahead of the storm
I was one jump ahead of the storm
Just one jump ahead of the storm
I was one jump ahead of the storm
Just one jump ahead of the storm
