I threw my robe on in the morning
Watched the ring on the stove turn red
Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee
Pulled on my boots and made the bed
Screen door hangin´ off its hinges
Kept bangin´ me awake all night
As I look out the window
The only thing in sight
Is dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind.

I chased the heat of her blood
Like it was the holy grail
Descend beautiful spirit
Into the evening pale
Her appaloosa´s
Kickin´ in the corral smelling rain
There´s a low thunder rolling
´Cross the mesquite plain
But there´s just dry lightning on the horizon line
It´s just dry lightning and you on my mind

I´d drive down to Alvarado Street
Where she´d dance to make ends meet
I´d spend the night over my gin
As she´d talk to her men

Well the piss yellow sun
Comes bringin´ up the day
She said "Ain´t nobody can give nobody
What they really need anyway."

Well you get so sick of the fightin´
You lose your fear of the end
But I can´t lose your memory
And the sweet smell of your skin
And it´s just dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind
