Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been put over the fence just short of a time too many
And I'll tell you what I didn't always hit that hard grass runnin'
After all the way down, but I always got up buckin'
I always got up meaner than before
[Verse 2]
Like a rattler on the banks of a green south Alt river
Didn't hear me over the west wind shakin' out a warnin'
No, they didn't see me comin', must've happened overnight
Lightning in July, prairie fire
[Chorus]
Oh, like a bad sign
I was hiding in plain sight
In the shadows of the thunder
Undercover, lucky strike
I am lightning in July, prairie fire
[Verse 3]
Been told I'm out of control for doing what comes natural
Yeah, I sure can make a show, but this is far from for display
I'd rather hide my face than do anything halfway
I'm going too far if I'm going, yeah, guess I'm unchained
[Verse 4]
There ain't no man of iron, there ain't no piece of sky
There ain't no untread mile that I cannot rival
No downpour or dustbowl I cannot make my own
I am lightning in July, prairie fire
[Chorus]
Oh, like a bad sign
I was hiding in plain sight
In the shadows of the thunder
Undercover, lucky strike
I am lightning in July, prairie fire
[Bridge]
White hot, hit the mark, right off of the charts
Rollin' loud, electric sound, flying sparks and stars
Live wire, high rider, blazing gun
Keep your head up for the hammer man, I'm quick to draw
[Chorus]
Like a bad sign
I was hiding in plain sight
In the shadows of the thunder
Undercover, lucky strike
I am lightning in July, prairie fire
[Outro]
Oh, lightning in July, prairie fire
Lighting in July, prairie fire
