You can take the boy out of the country, but...
jazz, fusion, blues & world music
Lyrics
I was lonely boy livin' on a dusty road
in a sleepy Indiana town
where every truth I found was a lie
somebody else had thrown away
way out in the country was a crooked stretch of gravel
and we all called it lightning road
we'd sit all night on the hood of my car playin' guitar
In time discovered what needed was a lover
but she didn't seem to come my way
then one night on Lightning road i saw the light
It was a cold December in '72
when my father died
momma cried I couldn't even though I tried
it's the sound of voices echoing down through the canyon
it's the cold embrace of a wave rushing up on the shore
a Lahaina morning dreaming under the Banyon
takes me back to lightning road
lightning road
Come on baby tell me do ya wanna go
way out in the country down to Lightning Road?
lightning road
Come on baby tell me do ya wanna go
south of the border down to Mexico?
on Lightning Road
it's the sound of voices echoing down through the canyon
It's the cold embrace of a wave rushing up on the shore
a Lahaina morning dreaming under the Banyon
takes me back to lightning road
lightning road
