Calm Before The Storm

Broke down, Stone Mountain, Georgia, many miles from my home
A trail of tears that I’ve left searchin', some of yours and my own
So I’m out here prayin' to Jesus for ghost in the night
'Cause all they want is a simple dollar, a song I won’t write
Mama, let it be
Ain’t no man gonna take it from me
Hard times, carry on
They’ve only seen the calm before the storm
I heard faith in a bottle of bourbon, I seen truth on the road
There ain’t a man in this land that ain’t hurtin', we’re all carryin' a load
So roll on, I’ll see ya sweet Mama, when their day is done
With some strength and love from the family, your oldest son
Mama, let it be
Ain’t no man gonna take this from me
Hard times, carry on
They’ve only seen the calm before the storm
Let it storm
I got a few things on my mind
They want to take it and brake it
And make it their own
And it’s time I keep mine
Mama, let it be
There ain’t no man gonna take it from me
Hard times, carry on
They’ve only seen the calm before the storm
Calm before the storm
