Lightnin'

When the lightnin´ 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 lightin´ strikes

In the drivin´ rain, when the darknesse falls
On the howlin´ 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 lightin´n strikes
Better curl it up, keep it outta sight
Oh Lord, when the lightnin´ strikes
Baby don´t be around, baby don´t make a sound
On the darkest night, when the lightnin´ strikes
In the drivin´ rain, you can hear the call
In the drivin´ rain, when the lightnin´ strikes
Oh Lord
