 Lightning's flashing all around me,
C
 Thunder's rolling up behind.
C
 Big blue clouds are going to roll in
C
 Full of tears and make me blind.
C
 I can't let her man recatch me.
C
 I can't stop to cry no more.
C
 I'm just running down the highway,
C
 One jump ahead of the storm.
  Am                    F  G   
  One jump ahead of her crying,
  Am                    F             G
  One jump ahead of her cold cheating arm.
  Am                    F G
  One jump ahead of her lying,
  Am                    F      G C
  One jump ahead of the storm.
C
 One day I looked on the horizon,
C
 Saw her love just couldn't last.
C
 Oh, my mind was torn to pieces.
C
 I had to leave and get out fast.
C
 And so I slipped out of her power.
C
 I saw my chance and I was gone
C
 Before the rain could start to falling.
C
 One jump ahead of the storm.

Just one jump ahead of the storm.
