Lyrics

Smokey the bear said only you can...

Lightning said Smokey that's not true

Though sometimes I can't help myself

You know I strike at will, it's nothing personal

Chorus

I'm just trying to get close enough

To see the face of love

To be in the face of love

One combination still impresses

Women, wind and summer dresses

Meet me underneath that hollow tree

I hope you don't mind if thunder follows me

Chorus

There's Franklin's kite and Franklin's key

And Frankenstein they owe a debt to me

I've lit them up I've knocked them down

I've put them early underground

Chorus

There are bolts for them out of the blue

Volts for us we'll hit the heights for you

I come by cloud, I come by storm

When the pressure drops, when cool meets warm

Chorus

One combination still impresses

Women, wind and summer dresses

Meet me underneath that hollow tree

Hope you don't mind if thunder follows me

Lightning's blues (3X)
