The Storm
Travis Tritt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tangled up in turmoil for too long
There's somethin missin and I'm thinkin maybe
We need to get it back before it's gone
Think of all the time we spend on everybody else
Let's take a little bit and keep it for ourselves
Cause when it feels like you been caught up
That blew in on the day you were born
And it seems like you been spinnin since you can't remember when
Well it's time to run away
It's time to run away from the storm
So much obsession with makin money
The dollar writes the rules for everyone
That may be fine but now listen honey
There's got to be some time for havin fun
The roads go anywhere, so many we can take
But don't ignore them, there's just too much at stake
Cause when it feels like you been caught up
In a dark angry wind
That blew in on the day you were born
And it seems like you been spinnin since you can't remember when
Well it's time to run away
It's time to run away from the storm
Oh yeah baby
Yeah, let's run away
The clock is tickin
And the days keep passin
Oughta get out while the gettin's good
Before we end up some day too late askin
Why we never took the chance we could
We need a get away that's meant for only two
If you'll take my hand, that's what we're gonna do
Cause when it feels like you been caught up
In a dark angry wind
That blew in on the day you were born
And it seems like you been spinnin since you can't remember when
Well it's time to run away
It's time to run away from the storm
Yeah, it's time to run away
Time to run away from the storm
Oh baby
It's time to run away
It's time to run away from the storm
Yeah baby
Oh
Let's run away child
Oh, yeah now baby
Let's run away
Far far away
Oh run away
From the storm
