"Heat Lightning" lyrics
Did you hear the son of God tell you what he wants?
Was it just a lighting bolt hurried from the sky?
Take your gun to the house bury it out back
Don't tell a soul what you did and never come again
He failed like you always said he would
Cops are here, now you run, don't tell them what you did
It's not fair to take a life from someone innocent
Wish I could just tell you, child, "I love you with all my heart"
But now you're buried underground, eaten by the worms
He failed like you always said he would
Death, it smells of rain
Daddy told me I would raise a child just like him
Now I am stuck in sinking sand trying to forget
Was it just a lighting bolt hurried from the sky?
Take your gun to the house bury it out back
Don't tell a soul what you did and never come again
He failed like you always said he would
Cops are here, now you run, don't tell them what you did
It's not fair to take a life from someone innocent
Wish I could just tell you, child, "I love you with all my heart"
But now you're buried underground, eaten by the worms
He failed like you always said he would
Death, it smells of rain
Daddy told me I would raise a child just like him
Now I am stuck in sinking sand trying to forget
