White Lightning - George Jones

Outside the cafe by the cracker factory You were practicing a magic trick And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed On the last of your pick and mix Said you're mistaken if you're thinkin' that I haven't been called cold before As you bit into your strawberry lace And then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper It's all you have left and it was going to waste Your pastimes consisted of the strange The twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy afternoons The next time that I caught my own reflection It was on its way to meet you Thinking of excuses to postpone You never looked like yourself from the side But your profile could not hide The fact you knew I was approaching your throne With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache Stood and puffed your chest out like you'd never lost a war And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of reaction There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw And your pastimes consisted of the strange The twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the icky cream man on rainy afternoons Uninviting But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are Crying lightning Your pastimes consisted of the strange The twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying lightning Crying lightning, whoa Crying lightning Crying lightning Your pastimes consisted of the strange The twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying

It's storming out, maybe you should come inside And tell me why you don't wanna be alive If you don't respond, I'll put my shoes on And lay down on the pavement next to you If we get struck, at least we'll make the news The news What a way to go out Something this town will forever talk about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house In the mud, sinking down Thinking of everything I have to think about You shut me up, look at the clouds As lightning struck What a way to go out Something this town will forever talk about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house And kids out on the playgrounds Years from now will say, "Did you ever hear about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house?" Maybe on a sunny day You might have some things to say But if you don't, that's okay What a way to go out Something this town will forever talk about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house And kids out on the playgrounds Years from now will say, "Did you ever hear about The two kids who were laying down And struck by lightning in front of your house?" As lightning struck And struck by lightning in front of your house

Я упаду в серый туман Не жди, что я тебе наберу Чувствую боль от колотых ран И снова ощуща— Alright, ты думала, он не такой как все, но я оказался ублюдком (ублюдком) Холодный дождь стучит в окно, ревёт с тобой как будто (вау) Билет в один конец, ты видишь, я уже на сумках Будешь скучать по мне? Не, ты будешь скучать по тому, как нам было трудно Я знаю, ты станешь сукой (сукой), они спасутся бегством (пу) Закроешь сердце под замок лучшим швейцарским сейфом (alright) Ты будешь носить улыбку, но я буду тянуться шлейфом Че-че-четыре дня без коки, я не нахожу себе места Грешил немало на city (да), грешил ещё больше на Курской (Курской) К блядям не испытывал мерзость — у меня нет проблем со вкусом (со вкусом) Дели, Брайтон Бич и Лели, Брайтон Бич и Лондон Всё, всё, всё, всё, всё, всё должно быть по-другому Не занимаюсь тут самокопанием, а Это всё сделала ты, вместо меня, пока мы с тобой спали Чё за номера там? Чё ты нашла там? Дай телефон, ты ведь не в себе явно Я смотрю в зеркало сам на себя, не понимая, кто вместо меня там К кому ты шёл и кому ты звонил, когда чувствовал, что умирал? Damn, посмотри ей прямо в глаза, она ведь та, кого ты искал Твоя душа тоже не глупая, чувствует, что постепенно ты сходишь с ума Спаси себя самого, ведь настолько холодный, что можно закинуть в бокал Ты будешь себя проклинать, когда ты поймёшь, чё наделал Теперь любовь, что когда-то согрела тебя, греет себя в холодной постели Ведь она осталась одна, пока ты кричал на неё за истерику В её глазах было то, что тебе не покажут по телеку Я упаду в серый туман Не жди, что я тебе наберу Чувствую боль от колотых ран И снова ощущаю дежавю Я упаду в серый туман Не жди, что я тебе наберу Чувствую боль от колотых ран И снова ощущаю дежавю

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
