about

I wrote this song several years ago to pitch to George Jones but I never had the chance to offer it to him. But it's still his song, his style, his phrasing. Everything about it is George Jones. I wish I could have gotten it to him before he passed away. My only hope now that one of his contemporaries, one of his protégés, will pick up on it and record it in his style. I think Scotty McCreery could do a nice job with this one.

lyrics

The Calm Before The Storm
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2015 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

So while I worked she packed her bags again,
And I’d bet my beer she’s found another friend,
Lord knows it’s not the first time,
I’ve come home to find her gone,
It’s quiet,
It’s the calm before the storm...

I haven’t even read the note she left,
But I’m sure that it’s exactly like the rest,
I never have to look for her,
She comes back before too long,
Here we go again,
It’s the calm before the storm...

-chorus-
Oh the calm before the storm,
Even this old chilly bedroom feels so warm,
And here I am, alone again, like so many times before,
It’s the calm before the storm...

Well I think I’ll pour another pint of beer,
I’m sure she’d give me hell if she were here,
And even though she hurts me,
I’ll still take her back once more,
I love her,
It’s the calm before the storm...

-repeat chorus-
