Big Storm

Time is a mean condition, he speaks with truth and conviction
Don't we all want to run from the stories he tells
Follow that crooked little narrow road like a hound dog on a trail
It's been a hard day's work, dragging up the rear
Tell you 'bout it when the time draws near

There's a big storm comin' over yonder
There's a big cloud comin' over that hill
And it feels like waitin' on the judgment day
Now won't you give me the key, to take a ride on the breeze
Take me anywhere

Ol' Nebuchadnezzar and the days of Purim said
You're bound to be delivered once again
And greater is the taker, or so that's what they say
I'm a waitin' on a shakin' just to wake me up from this dream that I'm livin' in
When old man Haman's still hanging from the gallows that he built with his own two hands

There's a big storm comin' over yonder
There's a big cloud comin' over that hill
And it feels like waitin' on the judgment day
Now, won't you give me the key, to take a ride on the breeze
Take me anywhere

Well I hope you got all of your groceries
Got your storm shutters on and a generator for your house
It's been a big time, and I don't really care too much
If my memory gets in the way of the stories I tell
If my memory gets in the way
If my memory gets in the way
If my memory gets in the way of the stories I tell

There's a big storm comin' over yonder
There's a big cloud comin' over that hill
And it feels like waitin' on the judgment day
Now won't you give me the key, to take a ride on the breeze
Take me anywhere

I done told you once, I done told you twice
Quit messin' around and just do it right
'Cause you could be the light on a dark and stormy night
Definition of the ism is hard to find
Something' 'bout it just ain't right
So go find your Jesus and turn on your lamp
Because it's gonna be a long hard fight

There's a big storm comin' over yonder
There's a big cloud comin' over that hill
And it feels like waitin' on the judgment day
Now won't you give me the key, to take a ride on the breeze
Take me anywhere, anywhere
