I've never been one for stormy weather But all of these clouds are coming close I know that you and I should probably run for cover But let's just wait it out and see where it goes I need to head back to West Virginia Down to the place my dad was born Because I've been forgetting what he told me Don't lose your footing on this road When I was young, the sun was shining bright as ever But I never looked up to see where the light was from Oh, now it feels like the sun is setting Now I'm looking up just to see where the light has gone I need to head back to California Down to the place my mom was born Because I've been forgetting what she told me Son, don't lose sight of the Lord Now I'm sitting here in Texas Sitting here looking up at the moon And I know that I've been forgetting That the sun is coming up soon
