"Fast As Lightning" lyrics

"Fast As Lightning"

Fast as lightning
Twice as frightening
Headed home to Houston in the middle of the night
Hear the bus die
Rub my red eyes
Praying I can catch my flight

Fast as lightning
Twice as frightening
Sold out show in Idaho with the Brauns and Bobby Keen
Boise breakdown
Headed southbound
Spent one night in SLC

Can't sell the record if we can't make the show
Can't make no money sittin' on the side of the road

Fast as lightning
Twice as frightening
Luckenbach to London picking with the symphony
Lost some changes
Did some rearranges
Moved into a minor key

Fast as lightning
Twice as frightening
Atlanta back to Austin, take that exit up ahead
Busted back end
Ride from an old friend
Spent one night in my own bed

Can't sell the record if we can't make the show
Can't make no money sittin' on the side of the road

Fast as lightning
Twice as frightening
Red-eye into Paris, flying out of JFK
The words I'm using
You can tell that I'm from Houston
Je ne parle pas Français
