Storming in Eau Claire Lyrics

She’s lived here for her whole life

And driven by this building so many times

But she’s never stayed in a motel til tonight

And six months sober when she checked in

She’ll be lucky to be on day three

When she gives her key to the clerk behind the counter and she leaves

And He’s got miles and miles to go

And he’s got one hand on the wheel

The other one’s holding an unlit cigarette

And somewhere in the back of his head

He’s trying to remember the backwards alphabet

Just in case things don’t go like he planned

And she keeps painting her nails

And looking out at the sky

And she’s been looking for a sign

She’s been looking for a sign

And it’s storming in Eau Claire Tonight

And she’s been working at the diner now

Seems like ten long years

Can’t stand to have another regular bitch about their eggs

Or another out of towner that tries to grab her legs

And she always swore she would leave

She always swore she would leave

She always swore she would leave

And he’s looking up at that no vacancy sign

And he thinks about turning around

But he’s not sure exactly where he’d go

And he’s not sure exactly what he’d find

And it’s storming in Eau Claire tonight
