I Got Caught By The Storm

Written By: Jim Gaffney

Radio Version


Verse 1

Woke up this mornin’ and I’m alone

She emptied my wallet and my keys are gone

Time to face it, she ain’t commin’ back

I get me some coffee and that suit of black

Grab that guitar and throw it on my back

Time to get movin’ on down the tracks

Momma always told me, I was bad to the bone

Must’ve been right, I got caught by the storm

Verse 2

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Almost made it to the other side

Pockets empty and soul is bare

No one noticed, no time to care

Devil’s commin’, he’s chasin’ me down

Hell’s risin’ on the edge of town

Been runnin’ since the day I was born

Outta time, I got caught by the storm

Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 Verse 3
Lightning crackles, skies open wide

Red rain fallin’, nowhere to bide

Shadows stretchin’ them clouds up high

Flames sneakin’ up from behind

Ain’t no mercy that I can see

Ain’t nobody’d save a man like me

The wind’s howlin’, my ticket’s torn

Goin’ south now, I got caught by the storm
