Written: Southern California Interstate, 1987
Knees was driving back from Riverside CA in a rainstorm when he wrote one of his most normal songs. He had been out to visit Sue Moore, a high school friend, and had chickened out of her challenge for him to tackle California. Knees, not known for his bravery, was an inertia kind of guy and found it difficult to make big changes in his life. Later that year he moved to Shreveport LA to begin his second career as magazine editor.
It’s rainin on the freeway
LA’s turnin shiny grey.
The people on the freeway
Don’t they work so hard to play?
It was rainin the first time we met
We waited it out together
An it may sound funny but you know sometimes
There’s somethin good about bad weather.
It was cold livin in Durango
The snow kept us close to home
Now when I’m in Durango
I go out into the cold
An remember all the times that
we were snowed in,
I wanted them to last forever.
Cuz when you’re with the one you love
There’s somethin good about bad weather.
So let the lightnin flash
Let the thunder roar
Let the four winds blow
Let it snow some more.
Mmm, there’s somethin good about bad weather.
So we moved out on the Gulf Coast
The most peaceful place we’ve been
Now we walk out on the Gulf Coast
An watch the waves roll in.
Our love is stronger than a hurricane
It can only blow us closer together
Cuz when you’re with the one you love
There’s somethin good about bad weather.
So let the lightnin flash
Let the thunder roar
Let the four winds blow
Let it snow some more.
Mmm, there’s somethin good about bad weather.
