lyrics

Look into the water
Gonna see them tombstone eyes
Half empty cup of promises
Is half full up with lies
Took crumbs from rich mens' tables
Lost count of all the girls I stole
Call me lightning 'cos I make that thunder roll
Call me lightning 'cos I make that thunder roll

Spanish moss hung outside
Of a little tin roof shack
Front porch on a dirt road
With a share crop out the back
Lit out late one evening
Delta covered up with fog
Said I'm leaving Natchez
Where the Southern cross the dog
Searching for the silver
I was searching for the gold
Call me lightning 'cos I make that thunder roll
Call me lightning 'cos I make that thunder roll

I headed North along
A lonesome railroad track
Danced the alligator
In a little chicken shack
Made another juke joint
Put a tattoo on my arm
Drank a lot of canned heat
Busted out from Parchman Farm
Went down to the crossroads
I was gonna sell my soul
Call me lightning 'cos I make that thunder roll
Call me lightning 'cos I make that thunder roll
