Black Tar Roses - Thunder & Lightning Lyrics

The day was cold it was sharp it was bright and blue
A morning mist hung in the air and the grass was full of dew
You turn your head in haste from the sun
In my dulcet tones I say real low, baby shall we run

And it's hard to live like a Saint when you've walked in the shoes of a sinner
And you my love you're heaven sent and I'm touched by the flame within ya

In the distance, the Blood Hounds bark and howl,
The lawmen know the money's gone, a dead man has been found
Needs must when the devil drives, these are desperate measures, these are desperate times
Push a man, that's hard and tough, take all that he's got but you can't touch love

And it's hard to live like a Saint when you've walked in the shoes of a sinner
And you my love, you're heaven sent and I'm touched by the flame within ya
And we walk together like Bonnie and Clyde, always on the lamb, no place to hide,
With a rumble and a flash across the sky, we fit just like thunder and lightning

Got a hand full of nothing when we needed aces high
Our roots run deep in this same soil but we'll try running til the money runs dry
A poor man's fate is a rich man's game, no judge, no jury will decide our end
'Cause you can't lock this love down with a ball and chain

And it's hard to live like a Saint when you've walked in the shoes of a sinner
And you my love, you're heaven sent and I'm touched by the flame within ya
And we walk together like Bonnie and Clyde, always on the lamb, no place to hide,
With a rumble and a flash across the sky, we fit just like thunder and lightning

Ahh-oohh
And we walk together like Bonnie and Clyde, always on the lamb, no place to hide,
With a rumble and a flash across the sky, we fit just like thunder and lightning

Maybe this is the end I hear you sigh
Adrenalin courses through my veins, thoughts gather pace of our demise
Maybe we will live to tell the tale, maybe we will burn at the gates of hell
You weathered the storm even when it was rough and I love you my dear have I told you enough

Ahh-oohh just like thunder and lightning ahh-ahh just like thunder and lightning
