lyrics

Storm Clouds Up Ahead
© 2017 Geoff Fields, Jeff Oxford

Verse 1:
He had nothing left to live for, not much left to give
Crazy games were playing in his head
He set out for the mountain, with one life left to give
Watch out, there’s Storm Clouds Up Ahead

Chorus 1:
He was headed for salvation, as a minister might say
Quoting verse from that book he never read
No time left to listen, let alone to pray
That’s right, there’s Storm Clouds Up Ahead

Verse 2:
By the time he left Duncannon, most all the gin was gone
As he climbed, his face was turning red
Near the cliff he stopped a moment, to look upon the dawn
Here it comes, there’s Storm Clouds Up Ahead

Chorus 1:
He was headed for salvation, as a minister might say
Quoting verse from that book he never read
No time left to listen, let alone to pray
That’s right, there’s Storm Clouds Up Ahead

Verse 3:
Most of us have commandeered our fears along the way
We search for peace and wish away the rest
But this young man had figured out his own plan for that day
To put convention to its final test

Chorus 2:
If you look down in the canyon, not much there to see
Just farms and towns where normal lives are led
But nothing was so regular, for the kid from Tennessee
Take over from the Storm Clouds Up Ahead
