Lirik Dry Lightning
Watched the ring on the stove turn red
Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee
Pulled on my boots and made the bed
Screen door hanginā off its hinges
Kept banginā me awake all night
As I look out the window
The only thing in sight
Is dry lightning on the horizon line
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 appaloosaās
Kickinā in the corral smelling rain
Thereās a low thunder rolling
āCross the mesquite plain
But thereās just dry lightning on the horizon line
Itās just dry lightning and you on my mind
Iād drive down to Alvarado Street
Where sheād dance to make ends meet
Iād spend the night over my gin
As sheād talk to her men
Well the piss yellow sun
Comes bringinā up the day
She said "Aināt nobody can give nobody
What they really need anyway."
Well you get so sick of the fightinā
You lose your fear of the end
But I canāt lose your memory
And the sweet smell of your skin
And itās just dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind
