Little rooster out on a fence post crowing

Here comes the storm like a big rig rolling

Here comes the storm like a big rig flying

Heavy loaded down fit to spit the sky in

And oh my little heart's in trouble

Feels like it just might explode

Why do they call it love when

Oh it feels like lightning

Out in the open and the wind starts blowing

I don't know any which way I'm going

I don't know any which way I'm bound

I used to be laughing but I ain't laughing now

And oh my little heart's in trouble

Feels like it just might explode

Why do they call it love when

Oh it feels like lightning

With cherry blossoms sweet with smoke

And venus blazing above the oak

I thought I knew all that there was to know

With the bluebirds flying high above

In godless heaven wherever that was

And the sun was on the face of the buffalo

Out across the fields are the thunderheads gathering

Clouds all turned to the color of a cavern

Dust devils spinning around a hollow sound

They used to be laughing but they ain't laughing now

And oh my little heart's in trouble

Feels like it just might explode

Why do they call it love when

Oh it feels like lightning

This ain't any kind of storm for chasing

Going to catch up to you now slow or racing

It's going to catch you to you now by and by

Going to make you feel good going to make you cry

And oh my little heart's in trouble

Feels like it just might explode

Why do they call it love when

Oh it feels like

Oh my little heart's in trouble

Feels like it just might explode

Why do they call it love when

Oh it feels like lightning

Feels like lightning
