Smokestack Lightning

(album: Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991 - 1991)

I was sitting at home all alone when I heard that telephone ring
And there on the line was a friend of mine saying he wasn't doing a thing
So I'm stepping out on the town tonight to party where the drinks are free
There's a sweet young thing ready and waiting on me

[chorus]
Young and fine, strike you blind
Smokestack lightning make you lose your mind
She's got looks that kill can fire at will
Smokestack lightning she's all I need

When we got to the place I got me a taste
I knew she'd be good for a game
Dancing out on the floor she was ready for more
She knew all the boys by their names
I said hey sweet thing let me pull your string
Let me take you home
I woke up in a hour with my money and my memory gone.

[repeat chorus]

Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightning

[repeat chorus]
