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 lightnin' strikes

In the drivin' rain, when the darkness 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 lightnin' 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
