Lightning in the Clay

Verse 1

Mud

On my boots

Heavy water rising fast

Walking through the red dirt pasture

Thinking bout the debt

Rain

Keeps falling down

Harder than a hammer strike

Dragging all the dreams I planted

Deep into the clay

Chorus

Give me back that thunder

Give me back that thunder

I need a little lightning

I need a little lightning

To clear out all the dust

To clear out all the dust

Texas blues in my veins

Texas blues in my veins

Verse 2

Black

Cast iron pan

Sizzling on a gas flame burner

Kitchen smells of grease and salt

Waiting for the sun

Gone

Left me cold

Packed a bag and took the truck

Leaving just the empty bottle

Sitting on the porch

Broken

Totally broken

Watching for a headlight glow

Searching for a reason

To stay

Chorus

Give me back that thunder

Give me back that thunder

I need a little lightning

I need a little lightning

To clear out all the dust

To clear out all the dust

Texas blues in my veins

Texas blues in my veins

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Strung tight like a wire

Caught in the crossfire

Losing my mind

Losing my grip

Losing my soul

Chorus

Give me back that thunder

Give me back that thunder

I need a little lightning

I need a little lightning

To clear out all the dust

To clear out all the dust

Texas blues in my veins

Texas blues in my veins

Outro

Red dirt

Cold rain

Going down

Going down

Going down

Yeah

I'm gone
