LIGHTNING SONG

DID YOU EVER WANT TO GO SWIMMING IN A SWIMMING POOL ON A HOT AND CLOUDY DAY
THUNDERCLOUDS ARE ROLLING YOU CAN SEE 'EM FAR AWAY
UT ACROSS THE GOLD COURSE LIGHTNING HITS A TREE
AND YOU WONDER WAS THAT BOLT OF LIGHTNING REALLY MEANT FOR ME

I USED TO HAVE A FRIEND WHO WAS HIT BY LIGHTNING, TWICE WOULD YOU BELIEVE
AND THE SECOND TIME IT MELTED ALL THE FILLINGS IN HIS TEETH
AND THERE WAS SOME FUNNY STORY ABOUT HIS GIRLFRIEND THAT I HEARD BUT I FORGOT
MAYBE IT MELTED ALL OF HER FILLINGS TOO AND SHE LEFT HIM BECAUSE OF THAT

WHEN IT RAINS IT SNOWS IT POURS IT GOES A LONG LONG WAY AWAY AWAY
(HOWLS)

I WAS FLYING INTO TUCSON AFTER MEETING AN INDIAN AND A VOICE SAID LOOK OUT TO YOUR LEFT
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SEE A UFO I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE OF THOSE THINGS YET
THEN LIGHTNING FLASHED AND IT KEPT ON FLASHING LIGHTING UP THE SKY UNDERNEATH THE PLANE
AND WHEN WE HIT THE GROUND IN TUCSON I WONDERED WAS IT ME WHO BROUGHT THE RAIN.

(HOWLS)

January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45 ... more
