(e. king, j. van zant, gary rossington, t. cerney)
I was sittin' at home all alone when i heard that telephone ring
And there on the line was a friend of mine sayin' he wasn't doin' a thing
So i'm steppin' out on the town tonight to party where the drinks are free
There's a sweet young thing ready and waitin' on me
(chorus)
Young and fine, strike you blind
Smokestack lightnin' make you lose your mind
She's got looks that k** can fire at will
Smokestack lightnin' she's all i need
When we got to the place i got me a taste
I knew she'd be good for a game
Dancin' out on the floor she was ready for more
She knew all the boys by their names
I said hey sweet thing let me pull your string
Let me take you home
I woke up in a hour with my money and my memory gone.
(repeat chorus)
Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightnin'
(repeat chorus)
