Lightning Crashes - LIVE

Well, in North Carolina, way back in the hills Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin' White lightnin' Well, the "G" men, "T" men, the revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin' to book him But my pappy kept a-cookin' White lightnin' Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew I took a little sip and right away I knew As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin' White lightnin' Yeah, the "G" men, "T" men, the revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin' to book him My pappy kept a-cookin' White lightnin' Well, a city slicker came and he said, "I'm tough" I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff He took one slug and drank it on down And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin' White lightnin' Yeah, the "G" men, "T" men, the revenuers, too Were searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin' to book him My pappy kept a-cookin' White lightnin'

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
