The Thunder Rolls
Three thirty in the morning??â?¹??Â
Not a soul insight??â?¹??Â
The city's lookin' like a ghost town??â?¹??Â
On a moonless summer night??â?¹??Â
Raindrops on the windshield??â?¹??Â
There's a storm moving in??â?¹??Â
He's headin' back from somewhere??â?¹??Â
That he never should have been??â?¹??Â
And the thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
And the thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
Every light is burnin'??â?¹??Â
In a house across town??â?¹??Â
She's pacin' by the telephone??â?¹??Â
In her faded flannel gown??â?¹??Â
Askin' for miracle??â?¹??Â
Hopin' she's not right??â?¹??Â
Prayin' it's the weather??â?¹??Â
That's kept him out all night??â?¹??Â
And the thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
And the thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
The thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
And the lightnin' strikes??â?¹??Â
Another love grows cold??â?¹??Â
On a sleepless night??â?¹??Â
As the storm blows on??â?¹??Â
Out of control??â?¹??Â
Deep in her heart??â?¹??Â
The thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
She's waitin' by the window??â?¹??Â
When he pulls into the drive??â?¹??Â
She rushes out to hold him??â?¹??Â
Thankful he's alive??â?¹??Â
But on the wind and rain??â?¹??Â
A strange new perfume blows??â?¹??Â
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes??â?¹??Â
And he knows that she knows??â?¹??Â
And the thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
And the thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
The thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
And the lightnin' strikes??â?¹??Â
Another love grows cold??â?¹??Â
On a sleepless night??â?¹??Â
As the storm blows on??â?¹??Â
Out of control??â?¹??Â
Deep in her heart??â?¹??Â
The thunder rolls??â?¹??Â
3rd Verse:??â?¹??Â
She runs back down the hallway??â?¹??Â
To the bedroom door??â?¹??Â
She reaches for the pistol??â?¹??Â
Kept in the dresser drawer??â?¹??Â
Tells the lady in the mirror??â?¹??Â
He won't do this again??â?¹??Â
Cause tonight will be the last time??â?¹??Â
She'll wonder where he's been
