"Dry Lightning" lyrics
"Dry Lightning"
I threw my robe on in the morning
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 hanging off its hinges
Kept banging 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 appaloosa's
Kicking in the corral smelling rain
There's a low thunder rolling
Across the mesquite plain
Is dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind
I'd drive down to Alvarado Street
Where she'd dance to make ends meet
I'd spend the night over my gin
As she'd talk to her men
Well, the piss yellow sun
Comes bringing up the day
She said "Ain't nobody can give nobody
What they really need anyway"
Well, you get so sick of the fighting
You lose your fear of the end
But I can't lose your memory
And the sweet smell of your skin
Is dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind

A good song takes you far
Your write about the moon
And you dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in daddy's car
You sing about the nights
And you laugh about...
The Band - "I Shall Be Released" They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now,...
John Hiatt - "Have A Little Faith In Me" When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try...
Mark Knopfler - "Wherever I Go" Maybe I’m bound to wander
From one place to the next
Heaven knows why
But in the wild blue yonder
Your star is fixed in my sky
Just another bar at a crossroads
So far from home
But that’s alright...
Jakob Dylan - "Will It Grow" I made a promise to not let go
Our tug of war has only made me want you more
Now steeped in hard luck and doomed to roam
My love is braver than you know
My forefathers they worked this land
And I was...
