Storms Never Last
Hank Williams Jr. · The Early Years, Part One [1986]
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun want to shine.
You followed me down so many roads baby
I've picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs
And every road we took God knows
Our search was for the truth
And the clouds brewing now won't be the last.
Storms never last do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun want to shine.
Storms never last do they Jessi
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun want to shine...
Storms Never Last
Hank Williams Jr.'s "Storms Never Last" stands as a quintessential example of his signature blend of country rock and blues-infused storytelling. Recorded for the 1986 compilation "The Early Years, Part One," the track exemplifies the raw energy and melodic complexity that defined his career during the mid-1980s. The song reflects the artist's ability to weave personal narrative with broader social commentary, a hallmark of his discography that bridged the gap between traditional country roots and the emerging outlaw rock movement. Its enduring appeal lies in its authentic delivery and the way it captures the turbulent spirit of the era, showcasing Williams Jr.'s mastery of the guitar and his capacity to transform simple themes into powerful musical statements.
