Dry Lightning |
I threw my robe on in the morning, watched the ring on the stove turn to red
Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee, pulled on my boots and made the bed
Screen door hangin' off its hinges kept bangin' me awake all night
As I look out the window, the only thing in sight
Is dry lightning on the horizon line
It's just dry lightning and you on my mind
I chased the heat of her blood like it was the holy grail
Descend beautiful spirit into the evening pale
Her appaloosa's kickin' in the corral smelling rain
There's a low thunder rolling across the mesquite plain
But there's just dry lightning on the horizon line
It's just dry lightning and you on my mind
I'd drive down to Alvarado street where she danced to make ends meet
I'd spend the night over my gin as she'd talk to her men
Well the piss yellow sun comes bringin' up the day
She said, "Ain't nobody gonna give nobody, what they really need anyway."
You get so sick of the fightin', you lose your fear of the end
I can't lose your memory, the sweet smell of your skin
It's just dry lightning on the horizon line
It's just dry lightning and you on my mind
