There's lightning flashing in my mirror
Thunder's rolling up behind
Big red 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 deceivin' 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.
Before my mind was torn to pieces,
I had to leave and get out fast.
An d so I slicked out of his power,
I saw my chance and got me going,
Before the rain could start to falling,
One jump ahead of the storm,
One jump ahead of the crying,
One jump ahead of his
cold deceiving eyes,
One jump ahead of this lion
One jump ahead of the storm
One jump ahead of the storm
One jump ahead of the storm
I say one jump, ahead of the storm
One jump, ahead of the storm
One jump, ahead of the storm
I say one jump, ahead of the storm
One jump, ahead of the storm
