Lyrics
One look and I know what's comin'
Observing someone's expression or behavior, anticipating a forthcoming event or situation.
Storm cloud is movin' in
Indication that a turbulent or difficult situation is approaching.
Ain't no use in running
There's no point in trying to escape or avoid it.
Just take it like a man
To face the situation bravely without avoiding or shirking.
Oh lord what have I started
Reflecting on the consequences of one's actions and the trouble they might cause.
Cold front is setting in
A metaphorical reference to a deteriorating situation, possibly emotionally or in a relationship.
Shelter no I can't find it
Unable to find safety or protection from the impending turmoil.
Judgment day is here again
A symbolic reference to a critical moment or a time of judgment.
Oh I better find some cover
Sensing the urgency to seek refuge or protection from the approaching trouble.
Oh when I hear that rumblin' sound
The sound of approaching trouble or conflict.
Because there ain't no warning
No advance notice or signal of the impending issue.
Oh when my woman comes unwound, yeah
When the person being referred to becomes upset or distressed.
She brings the thunder she brings the Lightnin' down
Metaphorical description of the intensity and force of the emotional disturbance caused by the woman.
The straight line that I've been walking
A metaphorical representation of staying on a specific path or lifestyle.
Lately is wearing thin
The established path or routine is becoming fragile or unsustainable.
I can't help but cross it
To unavoidably deviate from the usual course occasionally.
Every now and then
To occasionally cross boundaries or norms.
Oh I better find some cover
A repeated sense of urgency to find safety or protection.
Oh when I hear that rumblin' sound
Similar to line 11, indicating the imminent arrival of trouble or conflict.
Because there ain't no warning
No prior indication or alert about the impending issue.
Oh when my woman comes unwound, yeah
When the woman becomes upset or distressed, it leads to tumultuous consequences.
She brings the thunder she brings the Lightnin' down
Emphasizing the intensity and force of the emotional disturbance caused by the woman, likened to lightning.
