Lynyrd Skynyrd - Smokestack Lightning lyrics

(E. King, J. Van Zant, Gary Rossington, T. Cerney)

I was sittin' at home all alone when I heard that telephone ring

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

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

There's a sweet young thing ready and waitin' on me

(chorus)

Young and fine, strike you blind

Smokestack lightnin' make you lose your mind

She's got looks that kill can fire at will

Smokestack lightnin' she's all I need

When we got to the place I got me a taste

I knew she'd be good for a game

Dancin' out on the floor she was ready for more

She knew all the boys by their names

I said hey sweet thing let me pull your string

Let me take you home

I woke up in a hour with my money and my memory gone.

(repeat chorus)

Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightnin'

(repeat chorus)
