I've been down this road long before 'Cause I don't know what I was looking for Coming heavy weather, that's not turning back I've crossed rivers that were just dry sand Asked for deliverance from this promised land Coming heavy weather, that's not turning back It's been this way since before the flood Plains cracked and stained and dried in blood Coming heavy weather, that's not turning back My eyes can see into the gloom It looks to me like one step from doom Coming heavy weather, that's not turning back Well, I don't know which one is worse This coming storm or this land's curse Coming heavy weather, that's not turning back The leather walked out my shoes Hear people talk 'bout the dry spell news Coming heavy weather, that's not turning back The nightjar is calling a sweet lonesome sound My soul is falling tumblin' down Coming heavy weather, that's not turning back Coming heavy weather, right down this track Coming heavy weather, it's not turning back
