Lyrics
[Verse 1]
William Wallace Geronimo
My granddaddy, when he didn't keep his temper on low
Give 'em hell, Harry
Apache war horse paint
And, baby, me some nights when I've had too much to drink
[Chorus]
Puts a thunder in my chest
And lightning in my eyes
With a mean streak that comes on like a flood
Most men seek love and peace
But some are born with a storm in their blood
[Verse 2]
Leonidas on a Spartan Sea
The Lion of Judah flippin' tables on Pharisees
We all got a battle we gotta fight
Baby, won't you ride with me until I've won all mine?
[Chorus]
With a thunder in your chest
And lightning in your eyes
And a mean streak that comes on like a flood
Yeah, most will seek love and peace
But some are born with a storm in their blood
[Outro]
Fate whispers to the warrior
"You cannot withstand the storm"
But the warrior whispers back
"I am the storm"
