Dry Lightning   I threw my robe on in the morning   Watched the ring on the stove turn red   Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee   Pulled on my boots and made the bed   Screen door hangin’ off it’s hinges   Kept bangin’ me awake all night   As I look out the window   The only thing in site   Is dry lightning on the horizon line   Just dry lightning and and you on my mind   I chased the heat of her blood   Like it was the holy grail   Descend beautiful spirit   Into the evening pale   Her appaloosa’s   Kickin’ in the corral smelling rain   There’s a low thunder rolling’cross the mesquite plain   But there’s just dry lightning on the horizon line   It’s just dry lightning and and you on my mind   I’d drive down to alvarado street   Where she’d dance to make ends meet   I’d spend the night over my gin   As she’d talk to her men   Well the piss yellow sun   Comes bringin’ up the day   She said ’ain’t nobody can give nobody   What they really need anyway.’   Well you get so sick of the fightin’   You lose your fear of the end   But I can’t lose your memory   And the sweet smell of your skin   And it’s just dry lightning on the horizonline   Just dry lightning and and you on my mind
