[Verse 1]
There’s a path of destruction
Blowing through the midnight rain
She’s a category 5 on the radar
And feeling a familiar pain
A Turbulence tearing through my chest
That whirlwind starts to drop
I try to seek some kind of shelter
But she’s a cyclone I cannot stop
[Chorus]
Holding onto the reigns of the black wind
Tossed through the hands of time
This rides been too much to handle
True love I may never find
Plowing through the plains of my heart
Chasing forks down every road
Just like a cowboys rodeo
I’ve been out here… riding tornados
[Verse 2]
Under bridges is not a safe place
Too many have fallen down
She’s digging ditches way too deep
A flash flood and I’m gonna drown
Beneath the ground I’m in the darkness
Trying to find a simple light
But this match is not burning
Just lightning across the sky
[Chorus]
Holding onto the reigns of the black wind
Tossed through the hands of time
This rides been too much to handle
True love I may never find
Plowing through the plains of my heart
Chasing forks down every road
Just like a cowboys rodeo
I’ve been out here… riding tornados
I’m holding on
Oh I’m holding on
Holding onto the reigns of the black wind
Tossed through the hands of time
This rides been too much to handle
True love I may never find
Plowing through the plains of my heart
Chasing forks down every road
Just like a cowboys rodeo
I’ve been out here… riding tornados

Keep holdin on, brother!
Thematic, descriptive, and the metaphor and music match the intensity of feelings.
Though I understand the fork line, maybe there’s a better way to say it. It stood out to me.
