One Step Ahead of the Storm

[Verse 1]
Broke down on the interstate just outside of Wichita
I said, "Don't worry, baby, it'll be alright"
Two young and crazy kids who thought we knew it all
California hunger in our eyes

[Chorus]
I could smell the rain, I could feel the wind
I could see the clouds rollin' in
But in the arms of love, we stayed safe and warm
One step ahead of the storm

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I could smell the rain, I could feel the wind
I could see the clouds rollin' in
But in the arms of love, we stayed safe and warm
One step ahead of the storm

[Chorus]
I could smell the rain, I could feel the wind
I could see the clouds rollin' in
But in the arms of love, we stayed safe and warm
One step ahead of the storm

[Refrain]
Oh, we were one step ahead of the storm
