Lyric The Thunder Rolls (LONG)
Three thirty in the morning,
Not a soul in sight,
The city s lookin like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night.
Raindrops on the windshield,
There s a storm moving in.
He s headin back from somewhere
That he never should have been.
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls.
Every light is burnin
In a house across town.
She s pacin by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown.
Askin for miracle,
Hopin she s not right,
Prayin it s the weather
That s kept him out all night.
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls.
(Chorus)
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin strikes.
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night,
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls.
She s waitin by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he s alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
*chorus*
(THIRD VERSE)
She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won t do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She ll wonder where he s been
Not a soul in sight,
The city s lookin like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night.
Raindrops on the windshield,
There s a storm moving in.
He s headin back from somewhere
That he never should have been.
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls.
Every light is burnin
In a house across town.
She s pacin by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown.
Askin for miracle,
Hopin she s not right,
Prayin it s the weather
That s kept him out all night.
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls.
(Chorus)
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin strikes.
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night,
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls.
She s waitin by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he s alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
*chorus*
(THIRD VERSE)
She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won t do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She ll wonder where he s been
