thunder on the mountain
and there's fires on the moon
a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon
today's the day
where i'm gonna grab my trombone and blow
well
there's hot stuff here and it's everywhere i go
i was thinking about jerry lee
couldn't keep from crying
when he was born in hell's kitchen
i was living down the line
i'm wondering where in the world jerry lee could be
i been looking for him even clear through tennessee
feel like my soul is beginning to expand
look into my heart and you will sort of understand
you brought me here
now you're trying to turn me away
the writing on the wall
come read it
come see what it does say
i've got the pork chops
she's got the pie
she ain't no angel and neither am i
shame on your greed
shame on your wicked schemes
i'll say this
i don't give a damn about your dreams
thunder on the mountain heavy as can be
mean old twister bearing down on me
all the ladies in oklahoma scrambling to get out of town
looks like a thunder of love
better roll your windows down
everybody going and i want to go too
don't wanna take a 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 rolling to the ground
gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down
some sweet day i'll stand beside the king
i wouldn't betray your love or any other thing
the pistols are popping and the power is down
i'd like to try something but i'm so far from town
the sun keeps shining and the north wind keeps picking up speed
gonna forget about myself for a while
gonna go out and see what others need
gonna make a lot of money
gonna go up north
i'll plant and i'll harvest what the earth brings forth
the hammer's on the table
the pitchfork's on the shelf
for the love of god
you ought to take pity on yourself
i've been sitting down studying the art of love
i think it will fit me like a glove
i want some real good man to do just what i say
everybody got to wonder what's the matter with this world today
thunder on the mountain
rolling like a drum
going to sleep over there
that's where the music is coming from
i don't need any guide
i already know the way
remember this
i'm your servant both night and day
