Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus - Back in the Storm

Back In The Storm

You think you got one hole fixed;
Another leak opens up
One wound heals;
There’s another fresh cut
You forget about getting ahead
You just try to stay warm
Ready or not
You’re back out in the storm

Maybe bad weather will pass
In a couple of days
The sun will rise again
That’s what some people say
You've been patching up holes
Since the day you were born
Roof blows away
You’re back out in the storm

Bank owns your house and your car
You pay and you pay
Man says you got thirty days
Before they’ll take ‘em away

There’s a blue sky somewhere
But you’re stuck in the rain
Weatherman on TV
Calls for more of the same
You've been trying to fix everything
But you're tired and you're sore
One false move
You're back out in the storm

Bank owns your house and your car
You pay and you pay
Man says you got thirty days
Before they’ll take ‘em away

You think you got one hole fixed;
Another leak opens up
One wound heals;
There’s another fresh cut
You forget about getting ahead
You just try to stay warm
Ready or not
You're back out in the storm
Thirty more days
You're back out in the storm
