LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Smokestack Lightnin' lyrics

rate me

(E. King, J. Van Zant, Gary Rossington, T. Cerney)<br />

I was sittin' at home all alone when I heard that telephone ring<br />

And there on the line was a friend of mine sayin' he wasn't doin' a thing<br />

So I'm steppin' out on the town tonight to party where the drinks are free<br />

There's a sweet young thing ready and waitin' on me<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

Young and fine, strike you blind<br />

Smokestack lightnin' make you lose your mind<br />

She's got looks that kill can fire at will<br />

Smokestack lightnin' she's all I need<br />

When we got to the place I got me a taste<br />

I knew she'd be good for a game<br />

Dancin' out on the floor she was ready for more<br />

She knew all the boys by their names<br />

I said hey sweet thing let me pull your string<br />

Let me take you home<br />

I woke up in a hour with my money and my memory gone.<br />

[Chorus]<br />

Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightnin'<br />

[Chorus]
