When I was a boy my life wasn't easy
Listen to me son you gotta believe me
You better watch out a storm is coming
While you dance to the sound of out of time drumming

Well you're high on the hog spending all the money
Stung by the bee but you got no honey
Got all the bling in the fast lane running
Sober up quick catch the last train coming

Change say you wanna change but you never change and it's all he wrote

You're in the way of heavy weather
Eye of the storm is gonna change your life
You throw away the pieces that I've learned
Thinking you're right
But you'll never face the heavy weather
The way that I have done

Hey old man on your high horse preachin'
Can't put me down but you keep on reaching
Running too fast but you keep on getting slower
It's a young man's world and you'd better give it over

So bold thinking everything is fine
Your sixteen years ain't half of mine
I know you wanna say that I'm preaching it to you
But l've seen so much more and I'm leaving it to you
I just want you to know

You're in the way of heavy weather
Eye of the storm is gonna change your life
You throw away the pieces that l've learned
Thinking you're right
But you'll never face the heavy weather
The way that I have done

You're in the way of heavy weather
Eye of the storm is gonna change your life
You throw away the pieces that l've learned
Thinking you're right
But you'll never face the heavy weather
The way that I have done

Face the heavy weather
Face the heavy weather
