Thunder and Lightning - Bernie Marsden

Movin' at ninety

In the hard-drivin' rain

The car miles away

My headlights were blazin'

Into the night

And then there appeared

A very strange sight

Standin' before m

Were two gypsy queens

Right here in the desert

Dressed for regimes

I opened the door

And let them inside

Then I knew

This ain’t no ordinary ride

Thunder and lightning

Head for the city

With my foot to the floor

They said make it faster

I can’t go any more

A shot of Jack Daniels

Was pushed in my hand

The things that were happenin'

I just hadn’t planned

Drivin' through darkness

Without any signs

All I can see

Were little white lines

ZZ on the radio

Women on my mind

I just knew

I’d been left far behind

Thunder and lightning

Thunder and lightning

Strike!

I checked in a motel

I just had to rest

What can I do?

Watch for the feds?

Was it the bourbon?

I could not stay awake

First thing in the mornin'

I’ll sell my mistake

Woke up and left me

In the dead of the night

Everything gone

Nothing in sight

I’ve learned my lesson

And I’ve learned it well

Lightning strikes twice

With those gypsies from Hell
