I was sittin' at home all alone   When I heard that telephone ring   And there on the line was a friend of mine   Sayin' he wasn't doin' a thing      So I'm steppin' out on the town tonight   To party where the drinks are free   There's a sweet young thing   Ready and waitin' on me      Young and fine, strike you blind   Smokestack lightnin', make you lose your mind   She's got looks that kill, get fire at will   Smokestack lightnin', she's all I need      When we got to the place I got me a taste   I knew she'd be good for a game   Dancin' out on the floor she was ready for more   She knew all the boys by their names      I said,"Hey sweet thing, let me pull your string   Let me take you home"   I woke up in an hour   With my money and my memory gone      Young and fine, strike you blind, they call her   Smokestack lightnin', make you lose your mind   She's got looks that kill, get fire at will   Smokestack lightnin', she's all I need      Young and fine, strike you blind   Smokestack lightnin'      Young and fine, strike you blind, they call her   Smokestack lightnin', make you lose your mind   She's got looks that kill, get fire at will   Smokestack lightnin', she's all I need      Smokestack lightnin'   She's all I need   Smokestack lightnin'   Oh, she's all I need      Smokestack lightnin'   Ooh, smoky baby   Smokestack lightnin'
