I had this idea for a song with the hook Chasing Down The Storm. Sam came up with the melody and this is what we created.
Lyrics:
Chasing Down the Storm
John Cirillo (ASCAP) IPI# 334682653
Sam Gyllenhaal (BMI) IPI#550162327
It’s a half past a little too late, I’m hitting the door
I’d try not to hurt you, but I’d wind up hurting you more
I got demons in my back pocket dying to be set free
St Christopher’s long since given up on me
Dark clouds are blowing east
So east is where I’m bound
Chorus:
There’s a lonely road I’m gonna run
It’s the only road I know
Where I’m going there ain’t no sun
Old friend thunder’s gonna roll
And lightening, sweet Jesus
Strikes where every sin is born
But I always had a taste
For chasing down the storm
You see, I’m a hurricane ready to blow
When I touch down, there’s no safe place to go
I don’t trust blue skies cuz they don’t stay blue for long
I’m just nothing but bad news born to be moving on
Dark clouds are blowing east
So east is where I’m bound
Bridge:
Next time it rains, take a look around
It might just be me rolling into town
