STRUT ME THROUGH THE STORM nova originals August Artist Remix Challenge #2
I left that old dirt highway, boots still covered in yesterday, but the neon signs of Miami made my heartbeat ricochet. You were leaning by the doorway, slide-guitar glow in your eyes, and every step I took toward you felt like a truth I couldn’t disguise. We walked like two storms colliding, dust and ocean in our stride— and every mile that split us was ending by your side. We didn’t need a warning, the fire was in our feet— two worlds that never mixed before were finally bound to meet. STRUT ME THROUGH THE STORM WHERE THE DUST AND HEAT COLLIDE WHERE THE TIMBALES HIT LIKE THUNDER AND YOUR HEART WALKS NEXT TO MINE STRUT ME THROUGH THE STORM WHERE THE COWBOY MEETS THE SEA ’CAUSE EVERY ROAD I EVER TOOK WAS LEADING YOU BACK TO ME I told you how the breakdowns kept tearing through my chest, how every sunset on that ranch felt like a battle I couldn’t rest. You told me how the city kept pulling you from home, how every salsa night felt hollow when you danced those floors alone. But destiny was patient, waiting for our worlds to blend— a cowboy heart and Miami fire finally walking hand-in-hand. We didn’t need directions, the past became our guide— every wrong turn that we made was leading to this stride. STRUT ME THROUGH THE STORM WHERE THE DUST AND HEAT COLLIDE WHERE THE TIMBALES HIT LIKE THUNDER AND YOUR HEART WALKS NEXT TO MINE STRUT ME THROUGH THE STORM WHERE THE COWBOY MEETS THE SEA ’CAUSE EVERY ROAD I EVER TOOK WAS LEADING YOU BACK TO ME We passed the streets we used to wander, felt the years fall off our bones. Two souls from different worlds finally walking toward their home. You whispered, “I never stopped loving you.” I whispered, “I never tried.” And suddenly the future opened wide. STRUT ME THROUGH THE STORM WHERE THE DUST AND HEAT COLLIDE WHERE THE TIMBALES HIT LIKE THUNDER AND YOUR HEART WALKS NEXT TO MINE STRUT ME THROUGH THE STORM TO THE PLACE WE’RE MEANT TO BE ’CAUSE EVERY STEP BESIDE YOU FEELS LIKE DESTINY Wherever we go next… we walk there together.
