Like Lightning

(album: Women & Work - 2012)

Now she's got a kiss that hits like a thunder bolt
Electric lips that shocked me to the bone
Then I turned my back, she was gone in flash,
Now I gotta find her, been working on that
I know when I catch her I ain't gonna let her go

Gonna make my way on back up down the road
Gonna tell her that I need her, gonna tell her I love her so,
Lord where did she go?
Don't go wasting lightning
Don't go wasting time
Cause that girl down the road, she ain't the waiting kind

Now she ain't dancing on the bar at the Buccaneer
She ain't drinking with the boys underneath the pier
She ain't at her sisters, she ain't at the track,
But I'm gonna find her, gonna bring her back
I know when I catch her I ain't gonna let her go

Gonna make my way on back up down the road
Gonna tell her that I need her, gonna tell her I love her so,
Lord where did she go?
Don't go wasting lightning
Don't go wasting time
Cause that girl down the road, she ain't the waiting kind

Now she was on fire, I remember the kiss
in the car there beside her, sparks from her lips
And the way that she looked, like a storm on the rise,
Wind in her hair, rain in her eyes
I remember so, like a thunderbolt
And the fire in her kiss and the sparks from her lips
and the look in her eye like a storm on the rise

Gonna make my way on back up down the road
Gonna tell her that I need her, gonna tell her I love her so,
Lord where did she go?
Don't go wasting lightning
Don't go wasting time
Cause that girl down the road, she ain't the waiting kind
