LIGHTNING STRIKES

CHROUS:

I’M ALWAYS STANDING WHERE THE LIGHTNING STRIKES

OR ON A ROAD WITH NO END IN SIGHT

IT’S SADDER THAN AN OLD COUNTRY SONG

JUST TRYING TO GET BY, I GET IT WRONG

NOW WAS IT SOMETHING FROM ANOTHER LIFE

OR A WRONG THAT I CAN’T MAKE RIGHT?

LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME IN THIS LIFE

I’M ALWAYS STANDING WHERE THE LIGHTNING STRIKES

VERSE 1:

I WON IN VEGAS AND I BOUGHT A CAR

I’D DRIVE IT HOME ACROSS THE DESERT FAR

NOW IT WAS NEW AND NOTHING COULD GO WRONG

BUT LORDY, LORDY THAT ROAD WAS LONG

I FLAGGED A MAN DOWN FOR HELP TO STOP

BECAME THE FIRST HUMAN SPINNING TOP

A REAR VIEW MIRROR AND YOUR BEHIND

AT 65 WILL DO IT EVERY TIME

(CHORUS)

VERSE 2:

THINKING BACK WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL

I TRIED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE RULES

NEVER MEANT TO CAUSE NO HARM

BUT ONE NIGHT I SHOULD HAVE STAYED ON THE FARM

WE’RE JUST SOME BOYS HANGING OUT IN TOWN

THE TIME THAT SOMEONE BURNED THE SCOOL DOWN

I TOLD THE MAN IT WAS A BOLT FROM THE BLUE

BUT THEY WERE HAULING OFF YOU KNOW WHO!

SHORT CHORUS:

I’M ALWAYS STANDING WHERE THE LIGHTNING STRIKES

OR ON A RAOD WITH NO END IN SIGHT

LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME IN THIS LIFE

I’M ALWAYS STANDING WHERE THE LIGHTNING STRIKES
