When the lightnin' strikes and the sky turns red Better bolt your door, put your child to bed Better pour a drink, better drink it fast Smoke a cigarette, 'till the storm has pa**ed Better make no sound, babe don't be around When the lightnin' strikes In the drivin' rain, when the darkness falls On the howlin' wind, can you hear the call Better draw the blinds, better say a prayer Hear your back door slam, but there's no one there
Better make no sound, babe don't be around When the lightnin strikes Don't be around, don't you make no sound When the lightnin' strikes Better curl it up, keep it outta sight Oh Lord, when the lightnin' strikes Baby don't be around, baby don't make a sound On the darkest night, when the lightnin' strikes In the drivin' rain, you can hear the call In the drivin' rain, when the lightnin' strikes Oh Lord
