Lightning

[Intro] Man look at this shit I know, right? It's crazy I wish the storm would just blow this motherfucker away Why you say that? Serious, man, I hate this fuckin' town You know Bobby needs you at the job, right? Man, fuck him Fuck Bobby? I thought you liked Bobby I'm gettin' the fuck out of here, man Okay Watch [Verse 1] Yeah, Tommy just got out of jail (Got out of jail? Got out of jail) Two months he couldn't make bail (Couldn't make bail? Couldn't make bail) Here we sit, whiskey bent, freestylin' over cricket chirps He would spit, then I went, loaded gun, death we flirt Leave it up to the Baptist church, me and him are scum of the Earth Feelin' like two millionaires with a hundred dollar net worth Topic of discussion is that they know nothin' They didn't find the other twenty pounds hid in the oven What happened to me and you? We used to go to Sunday School And we worked Monday 'til Friday, and sometimes Sunday, too Five-hundred dollar check and that's no disrespect But I'm a talent, God damn it, you watch, I'm tellin' you We had it all mapped out, hip-hop 'til we crashed out I drank 'til I couldn't walk straight, on the front porch where we passed out Nothin' but trouble, dealin' with troubles over our sorrow And the clouds followed, we was just like [Chorus] Just like lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue Just like gunshots in the hollow Echoin' all night through This is how we shed our problems Under the southern moon Just like lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue (Yeah) [Verse 2] It's three o'clock in the morning, I got two packs of Parliament Lights and A dime bag of that 'Bama brick, I just lay in the dark of the night on The bed of my buddy's truck who got it from his papa back when He died in a fire rescue and I never asked what happened We listened to Charlie Daniels, Too $hort and Bob Seger Sing along to "Night Moves", sippin' on gas station margaritas Gotta get a good buzz out here, man, nothin' else to do but get high Put bullet holes in beer cans and talk about how we gonna get by Some say that dreaming's useless, full of pride and selfishness Escapin' that mental prison's like climbin' the electric fence And that's a risk, but a risk I'll take to better with 'Cause through Hell I've been, so success would be just self-defense I took another swallow, can't share my dream with everybody And besides, to the factory, I clock in tomorrow And to my room, I wobble, but the vision I follow A storm was brewin', we was just like [Chorus] Just like lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue Just like gunshots in the hollow Echoin' all night through This is how we shed our problems Under the southern moon Just like lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue Just like lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue Just like gunshots in the hollow Echoin' all night through This is how we shed our problems Under the southern moon Just like lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue [Outro] Lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue Lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue Lightning in a bottle Burnin' electric blue
