G Em
Broke down on the interstate
Cadd9 G
Just outside of Wichita
G Cadd9 D
I said, don't worry baby it'll be alright
G Em
Two young and crazy kids
Cadd9 G
Who thought we knew it all
G Cadd9 D
California hunger in our eyes
G
I could smell the rain
Cadd9
I could feel the wind
D G
I could see the clouds rollin' in
G D/F# Em D/F# Cadd9
But in the arms of love we stayed safe and warm
D G
One step ahead of the storm
G Em
Our California dreams went south
Cadd9 G
So we headed east to Baton Rouge
G Cadd9 D
You said, don't worry baby it'll be alright
G Em
Louisiana holds a brighter day
Cadd9 G
Had my doubts to tell the truth
G Cadd9 D
But through it all you were right there by my side
G
I could smell the rain
Cadd9
I could feel the wind
D G
I could see the clouds rollin' in
G D/F# Em D/F# Cadd9
But in the arms of love we stayed safe and warm
D G
One step ahead of the storm
G D/F# Em D/F# Cadd9
D G
Hard times knocking at your door
Em Cadd9
From the cradle to the grave
D Em
You gotta fight like the devil
Cadd9 D
Just to keep the wolves at bay
G
Hey I could smell the rain
Cadd9
I could feel the wind
D G
I could see the clouds rollin' in
G D/F# Em D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# Em D/F# Cadd9
But in the arms of love we stayed safe and warm
Cadd9 D G
One step ahead of the storm
Cadd9 D G
We were one step ahead of the storm
