One Step Ahead Of The Storm Lyrics - Lawrence Tracy

(Larry Boone/Paul Nelson/Tracy Lawrence) 

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 

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 

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 

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 

Hard times knocking at your door 

From the cradle to the grave 

You gotta fight like the devil 

Just to keep the wolves at bay 

Hey 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 

We were one step ahead of the storm
