Nights of Thunder
A boiling, deepening gray can hide the mesa
'Til the flash at 3 a.m. shows off the sky
Jim stood against the wall and watched the pavement
His dad said don't get wet, go on inside
The road turns red and sparkling' just past Utah
Vultures' wings are black enough to blind
It's seven hundred miles from me to you, Ma
He cried when the call ran out of time
Take me far away from nights of thunder
Or let me stay right here and go to sleep
The clouds are gambling, heavens are rolling for our fears
Bugs are loud and laughing, saying leave
The waiter's dogs are tied up 'neath the street light
Babies softly kick their brown eyes wide
Nine-pound hammers beat a path cross my dreams
The roof caught fire, weren't you inside
Take me far away from nights of thunder
Or let me stay right here and go to sleep
The clouds are gambling, heavens are rolling for our fears
Bugs are loud and laughing, saying leave
A centipede don't roam a soaking desert
A hundred feet ain't easy to keep dry
A black tar roof is all god's creatures' pleasure
What's an ark without a neon sign
Take me far away from nights of thunder
Or let me stay right here and go to sleep
The clouds are gambling, heavens are rolling for our fears
Bugs are loud and laughing, saying leave
Take me far away from nights of thunder
Or let me stay right here and go to sleep
The clouds are gambling, heavens are rolling for our fears
Bugs are loud and laughing, saying leave
'Til the flash at 3 a.m. shows off the sky
Jim stood against the wall and watched the pavement
His dad said don't get wet, go on inside
The road turns red and sparkling' just past Utah
Vultures' wings are black enough to blind
It's seven hundred miles from me to you, Ma
He cried when the call ran out of time
Take me far away from nights of thunder
Or let me stay right here and go to sleep
The clouds are gambling, heavens are rolling for our fears
Bugs are loud and laughing, saying leave
The waiter's dogs are tied up 'neath the street light
Babies softly kick their brown eyes wide
Nine-pound hammers beat a path cross my dreams
The roof caught fire, weren't you inside
Take me far away from nights of thunder
Or let me stay right here and go to sleep
The clouds are gambling, heavens are rolling for our fears
Bugs are loud and laughing, saying leave
A centipede don't roam a soaking desert
A hundred feet ain't easy to keep dry
A black tar roof is all god's creatures' pleasure
What's an ark without a neon sign
Take me far away from nights of thunder
Or let me stay right here and go to sleep
The clouds are gambling, heavens are rolling for our fears
Bugs are loud and laughing, saying leave
Take me far away from nights of thunder
Or let me stay right here and go to sleep
The clouds are gambling, heavens are rolling for our fears
Bugs are loud and laughing, saying leave
