On my way back to work today, American Storm came up in my ipod playlist.

I've been on a Bob Seger kick since then.

Which is kinda sad, because I only have maybe 10 songs by him.

But damn, American Storm is such a great song. It's my new favorite song for the week. (Though I must say, I think it could be improved a bit by removing the "you never feel the need" line)


Headin out on some uncharted path
You soon turn back
It happens time and time again
You never seem to reach the end
Someones out there on the street tonight
When things go wrong
Hell guarantee to make them right
If the price is right

Every time I look you're fallin fallin
Beaten by the wind
Every time I turn around hes there again

Its like a full force gale
An American storm
You're buried far beneath a mountain of cold
And you never get warm
Its like a wall of mirrors
You charge `em at full speed
You cover up - you hear the shattering glass
But you never bleed
You never feel the need

Everybody casts a certain light
A special gift
Its theirs to use for wrong or right
When you face the night
More and more we choose the easy way
We take no risks
We figure out which games to play
And how to make em pay

Suddenly the pressures fallin fallin
Skies have all turned grey
Suddenly the storm is heading straight your way

Its like a full force gale
Atop a mountain of cold
You tell your story again and again
And it never gets old
Its like a wall of mirrors
You charge em at full speed
You cover up - you hear the shattering glass
But you never bleed
You face a full force gale
An American storm
You're buried beneath a mountain of cold
And you never get warm - no you never get warm
You face a wall of mirrors
You charge em at full speed
You cover up - you hear the shattering glass
But you never bleed
You never feel the need
