Spirit Of A Storm


There's a spirit of a storm in my soul,

A restlessness that I can't seem to tame.

Thunder and lightning follow everywhere I go...

There's a spirit of a storm in my soul.


There's a hurricane that's raging through my blood,

I can't find a way to calm the sea.

Maybe I'll find someday the waters aren't so rushed,

Right now they've got the best of me


And oh, it's been a long, long time,

Since I had real peace of mind-

So I'm just going to sit right here,

In this old chair, till this storm rolls by...


Oh, maybe it's just the way I am,

Maybe I won't ever change

So I'm just going to sit right here

In this old chair and just soak up the rain.


There's a spirit of a storm in my soul,

Every time I think it's gone away...

the dark clouds gather, that old wind begins to blow,

The sun's going to shine someday I hope...

but there's a spirit of a storm in my soul, in my soul.

Roll with the Changes

I knew it had to happen
Felt the tables turnin',
Got me through my darkest hour.

I heard the thunder clappin'
Felt the desert burnin'
until you poured on me like a sweet sun shower.

So, if you're tired of the Same old story
Turn some pages,
I'll be here when you are ready to roll with the changes-

On the coast of somewhere beautiful
Trade winds blowin' through her hair
Sunlight dancin' on the water
and I wish I was there

These are Better Days


Better Days

Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
to the hours and minutes tickin' away,
yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
while it was all just slippin' away.

I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come,
or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend.
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose,
and a woman I can call my friend.

These are better days baby, yeah there's better days shining through,
These are better days baby, Better days with a girl like you.

Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss,
it's like eatin' caviar and dirt.
It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
you're a rich man in a poor man's shirt.

Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
your heart like a diamond shone.
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
out of these hard luck bones.

These are better days baby, these are better days its true.
These are better days,
There's better days shining through.

Now a life of leisure and pirate's treasure,
Don't make much for tragedy,
but it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
and can't stand the company.

Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself,
and turning his heart to stone.
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell,
and I feel like I'm comin' home.
These are better days baby,
there's better days shining through.
These are better days,
Better days with a girl like you.
