American Storm

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Like a Rock (live in Saratoga, New York 8-11-86)

Headin' out on some uncharted pathYou soon turn backIt happens time and time againYou never seem to reach the end

Someone's out there on the street tonightWhen things go wrongHe'll guarantee to make 'em rightIf the price is right

Every time I look you're fallin', fallin'Beaten by the windEvery time I turn around he's there again

It's like a full force galeAn American stormYou're buried far beneath a mountain of coldAnd you never get warm

It's like a wall of mirrorsYou charge 'em at full speedYou cover up - you hear the shattering glassBut you never bleedYou never feel the need

Everybody casts a certain lightA special giftIt's theirs to use for wrong or rightWhen you face the night

More and more we choose the easy wayWe take no risksWe figure out which games to playAnd how to make 'em pay

Suddenly the pressure's fallin', fallin'Skies have all turned graySuddenly the storm is heading straight your way

It's like a full force galeAtop a mountain of coldYou tell your story again and againAnd it never gets old

You face a wall of mirrorsYou charge 'em at full speedYou cover up - you hear the shattering glassBut you never bleed

You face a full force galeAn American stormYou're buried beneath a mountain of coldAnd you never get warm, no you never get warm

You face a wall of mirrorsYou charge 'em at full speedYou cover up, you hear the shattering glassBut you never bleedYou never feel the needYou never feel the needNever feel the needNever feel the needYou never feel the need

Oh, it's like a full force galeAn American stormAn American storm
