[Verse 1] Clouds roll in Sky turns green Old dog whining by the screen Radio hums that warning tone Grandma says “Child Don’t stand out there alone” [Pre-Chorus] Is it just hard rain Or something worse this time That low roar on the plain Feels like a freight on my mind [Chorus] There’s a storm brewin’ in Lightning and wind Don’t bend them limbs Don’t test that brim Is it straight-line winds or is it a tornado Is it gonna tear it up or just flood these clay roads It’s about time To get in under the roof Away from the windows Please everybody Be safe Watch the sky When you start seein’ things fly Duck Get under somethin’ We’re goin’ to the Storm Center (oh Lord) We’re goin’ to the Storm Center [Verse 2] Neighbor kids barefoot in the yard Mama yells “Baby It’s comin’ down hard” Porch swing bangs like a broken bell You can taste that metal in the air You can tell [Pre-Chorus] Is it gonna break barns Or just fill up the ditches Rip out these power lines Or only drown the switches [Chorus] There’s a storm brewin’ in Lightning and wind Don’t bend them limbs Don’t test that brim Is it straight-line winds or is it a tornado Is it gonna tear it up or just flood these clay roads It’s about time To get in under the roof Away from the windows Please everybody Be safe Watch the sky When you start seein’ things fly Duck Get under somethin’ We’re goin’ to the Storm Center (hey now) We’re goin’ to the Storm Center [Bridge] Under this roof We gather and pray “Lord Hold us close Hold the house Hold the hay” Screen door rattles like it’s ’bout to let go We sing over thunder ‘cause the fear runs low [Chorus] There’s a storm brewin’ in Lightning and wind Don’t bend them limbs Don’t test that brim Is it straight-line winds or is it a tornado Is it gonna tear it up or just flood these clay roads It’s about time To get in under the roof Away from the windows Please everybody Be safe Watch the sky When you start seein’ things fly Duck Get under somethin’ We’re goin’ to the Storm Center (one more time) We’re goin’ to the Storm Center
