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 its hinges
Kept bangin´ me awake all night As I look out the window The only thing in sight
Is dry lightning on the horizon line Just dry lightning 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´ 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 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
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 horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind
