There's lighting flashing in my mirror Thunders rolling up behind Big grey clouds all full of lonely Full of tears to make me blind I can't let his memory catch me I can't stop to cry or moan I'm just running down the highway One jump ahead of the storm One jump ahead of the cryin' One jump ahead of his cold deceiving arms One jump ahead of his lyin' One jump ahead of the storm One day I looked on the horizon I saw his love just wouldn't last (oh no) Before my mind was torn to pieces I had to leave and get out fast And so I slipped out of his power I saw my chance and got me gone Before the rain could start falling One jump ahead of the storm One jump ahead of the cryin' One jump ahead of his cold deceiving arms One jump ahead of his lyin' One jump ahead of the storm One jump Ahead of the storm One jump Ahead of the storm I said one jump Ahead of the storm One jump Ahead of the storm One jump Ahead of the storm I said one jump Ahead of the storm (One jump ahead of the storm)
