Thunder On the Mountain

Thunder on the mountain, fires on the Moon

A ruckus in the alley and the cops are comin' soon

Today's the day, gonna grab my trombone and blow

Well, there's hot stuff here and it's everywhere that I go

Been thinkin' about Jerry Lee

Couldn't keep from cryin'

But he born in Faraday, I was livin' down the line

I'm wonderin' where in the world could Jerry Lee be

I've been lookin' for him clear through Tennessee

Feel like my soul is beginnin' to expand

Look into my heart and your soul will understand

You brought me here, now you're tryin' to run me away

The writing's on the wall, come read and come see what I say

He's got the pork chops, I got the pie

He ain't no angel and neither am I

Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes

I know one thing, I don't give a dang about your dreams

Thunder on the mountain, heavy as can be

Mean old twister bearin' down on me

All the ladies in Oklahoma scramblin' to get out of town

Looks like a thunder of love

Better roll your windows down

Everybody goin' and I wanna go too

Don't wanna take no chance with somebody new

I did all I could, I did it right there and then

I've already confessed, no need to confess again

Thunder on the mountain, rollin' on the ground

Gonna get up in the morning, walk the hard road down

Some sweet day I'll stand aside the king

I wouldn't need trade your love for any other thing

Pistols a-pumpin' and the power is down

I'd like to try something but I'm far from town

Sun keeps shinin' and I know this wind's a-pickin' up speed

Forget I got myself goin' out to see what others mean

Gonna make a lotta money, gonna go up north

I'll plant and I'll harvest what the earth brings forth

The hammer's on the table and the pitchfork's on the shelf

For the love of God, you oughta take pity on yourself

Woo

I've been sittin' down, studyin' law

I think it might just fit like a glove

I want a really good man to do just what I say

Everybody's got to wonder what's the matter with the world today

Thunder on the mountain, rollin' like a drum

Gonna sleep over there where the music's comin' from

Don't need a guide, already know the way

Remember this song, it's sure to go night and day

Yeah
