  			C Lightning's flashing all around me,
C Thunder's rolling up behind.
C Big blue clouds are going to roll in
C Full of tears and make me blind.

C I can't let her man recatch me.
C I can't stop to cry no more.
C I'm just running down the highway,
C One jump ahead of the storm.

  Am One jump ahead of her F cryGing,
  Am One jump ahead of her F cold cheating G arm.
  Am One jump ahead of her F lyGing,
  Am One jump ahead of the F storm. G C

C One day I looked on the horizon,
C Saw her love just couldn't last.
C Oh, my mind was torn to pieces.
C I had to leave and get out fast.

C And so I slipped out of her power.
C I saw my chance and I was gone
C Before the rain could start to falling.
C One jump ahead of the storm.

I was C one jump ahead of the Bb storm. F C
Just C one jump ahead of the Bb storm. F C
