The Thunder Rolls

Three thirty in the morning 

Not a soul insight 

The city's lookin' like a ghost town 

On a moonless summer night 

Raindrops on the windshield 

There's a storm moving in 

He's headin' back from somewhere 

That he never should have been 

And the thunder rolls 

And the thunder rolls 



Every light is burnin' 

In a house across town 

She's pacin' by the telephone 

In her faded flannel gown 

Askin' for miracle 

Hopin' she's not right 

Prayin' it's the weather 

That's kept him out all night 

And the thunder rolls 

And the thunder rolls 



The thunder rolls 

And the lightnin' strikes 

Another love grows cold 

On a sleepless night 

As the storm blows on 

Out of control 

Deep in her heart 

The thunder rolls 



She's waitin' 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 the lightnin' flashes in her eyes 

And he knows that she knows 

And the thunder rolls 

And the thunder rolls 



The thunder rolls 

And the lightnin' strikes 

Another love grows cold 

On a sleepless night 

As the storm blows on 

Out of control 

Deep in her heart 

The thunder rolls 



[3rd Verse:]

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
