Lightnin'

(album: Rough Town - 1994)

When the lightning strikes and the sky turns red
Better bolt your door, put your child to bed
Better pour a drink, better drink it fast
Smoke a cigarette, till the storm has passed
Better make no sound, babe don't be around
When the lightning strikes

In the driving rain, when the darkness falls
On the howling wind, can you hear the call
Better draw the blinds, better say a prayer
Hear your back door slam, but there's no one there
Better make no sound, babe don't be around
When the lightnin strikes

Don't be around, don't you make no sound
When the lightning strikes
Better curl it up, keep it outta sight
Oh Lord, when the lightning strikes
Baby don't be around, baby don't make a sound
On the darkest night, when the lightning strikes
In the driving rain, you can hear the call
In the driving rain, when the lightning strikes
Oh Lord
