Smokestack Lightnin' Songtext
von Lynyrd Skynyrd

(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.
[Chorus]
Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightnin'
[Chorus]
