Thunder Rolls

[Verse 1]

Three thirty in the morning, not a soul in sight

The city's looking like a ghost town on a moonless summer night

Raindrops on the windshield, there's a storm moving in

He's heading back from somewhere that he never should have been

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

[Verse 2]

Every light is burning in a house across town

She's pacing by the telephone in her faded flannel gown

Asking for a miracle, hoping she's not right

Praying it's the weather that's kept him out all night

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

[Chorus]

The thunder rolls and the lighting strikes

Another love grows cold on a sleepless night

As the storm blows on, out of control

And deep in her heart, the thunder rolls

[Verse 3]

She's waiting by the window when he pulls into the drive

She rushes out to hold him, thankful he's alive

But on the wind and rain, a strange new perfume blows

And lighting flashes in her eyes, and he knows that she knows

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

[Chorus]

The thunder rolls and the lighting strikes

Another love grows cold on a sleepless night

As the storm blows on, out of control

Deep in her heart, the thunder rolls

[Verse 4]

She runs back down the hallway to the bedroom door

She reaches for the pistol kept in the dresser drawer

Tells the lady in the mirror, "He won't do this again"

'Cause tonight will be the last time she'll wonder where he's been

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

[Chorus]

The thunder rolls and the lighting strikes

Another love grows cold on a sleepless night

As the storm blows on, out of control

Deep in her heart, the thunder rolls

[Outro]

The thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
