Lightning Strikes Songtext
von James Riley

Picture the bride, fair and red-headed
Just six months wedded
Drinking alone
Catch the boy′s eye, she says "You can kiss me
He doesn't miss me
And he′s never home"

Sky's getting darker, tonight there's a storm
But up in her chamber she′s keeping him warm
Holding him longer and closer and stronger and

Lightning strikes and count for the thunder
One, two, three miles away


Way over town he stalks the curbside
Thoughts not of his bride
When he answers his phone
The voice on the line says "I′ve seen your lover
In the arms of another
And she left not alone"

He steps on the gas and tears into the night
Back to the house where she's holding him tight
Burning and shaking, the storm clouds are breaking and

Lightning strikes and count for the thunder
One, two, three miles away

And just as his headlights scream into the drive
Riding in shotgun, a Colt .45
He loads up the chamber, she calls out his name but

The lightning strikes and count for the thunder
One, two, three miles away
Miles away, miles away, miles away
