The Storm from The Songs by Will Godfrey
In the early 1970s my brother and a few of his friends were long-distance truck drivers. Fast forward to 2011 when I wrote this song, it was picked up by a then current driver. He thoroughly approved of it!

Lyrics
I drove my truck through a howling gale.
Scared me to death when the lightning struck.
I've got 500 miles to go.
Before I see my home again.
There is a photo in my cab.
Three smiling faces wait for me.
To be with them again be sure,
I'd drive this beast through the gates of hell.
Storm! You'll never beat me down.
Storm! I'm stronger than you think.
Storm! I'm gonna make it through.
Storm! You'll never beat me down.
The road is slick and the sky is dark.
I feel the wind try to turn my truck.
There is no way I'll lose this rig.
My hand is firm and my mind is sharp.
The road was long but the end's in sight
My truck rolls on as the storm grows weak.
I see the glow of dawn ahead.
For sure, I know I'll win this fight.
Storm! You didn't beat me down.
I was stronger than you thought.
Storm! See how I made it through.
Storm! You never beat me down.
