Lyrics

Thunder Town

I’ve got a 56 Tele, old mut guitar swamp ash with a Esquire neck
A smuggler frame and quarter pound coils, she’ll hit you like a heart attack
Me and my buddy D we scavenged all the parts
And we scattered ‘em all over the floor
Brick by brick and piece by piece
We built her up like we were going to war

Tonight the stage lights they’re burning bright
Turn em up I wanna feel the heat
We’re going down the Thunder Town
Her and the boys and me

We take all the work that we can get from Illinois down to Arkansas
Tearing across the land in a twelve man van
All bleeding out for our cause
Some folks they just quit on their dreams
Some folks don’t give a thought
Some folks sell their soul away
For a paycheck that they never got

Tonight the stage lights they’re burning bright
Turn em up I wanna feel the heat
We’re going down the Thunder Town
Her and the boys and me

I met her at a club in Fort Smith one night
I was there to open the show
She walked in on the front man’s arm
Left with a poet in a leather coat
But lately she’s got this look in her eyes
They’re tired and hopeless and gray
She’s begging for something to believe in Lord
But sometimes I feel it’s slipping away
The road it gets so lonesome and the house gets lonely too
But we’ve got something worth fighting for
So babe we gotta see it through


Tonight the stage lights they’re burning bright
Turn em up I wanna feel the heat
We’re blowing out of Thunder Town
Her and the boys and me
