"Calm Before The Storm" lyrics - WHISKEY MYERS

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Outro:]
Calm before the storm
