Your Mother Was the Lightning Lyrics
Your mother was the lightning.
I can't believe it's true.
Your mother was the lightning,
And you're a sky of blue.
Oh, now, don't you feel blue?
Your father was the driver
Of a shining steel train.
Your old man did some driving
In blue country rain.
Oh yes buckets, and buckets, and buckets of rain.
Your sister was a dancer
Up in Merrytown.
She spends her nightlife dancing
And drinking cherry wine.
Oh man, what a waste.
Your brother was the prophet--
He read it in the leaves
They didn't like his magic,
So they strung him from a tree.
Oh man, what a pity--
He was a friend of mine.
Well me, I was your lover--
You can see my tattoos.
Babe, there was no other--
Only you.
Oh yes, only you.
Your mother was the lightning.
I can't believe it's true.
Your mother was the ocean,
And you're a sky of blue.
Oh, now, don't you feel blue?
Oh, 'cause yes, I feel blue.
I can't believe it's true.
Your mother was the lightning,
And you're a sky of blue.
Oh, now, don't you feel blue?
Of a shining steel train.
Your old man did some driving
In blue country rain.
Oh yes buckets, and buckets, and buckets of rain.
Up in Merrytown.
She spends her nightlife dancing
And drinking cherry wine.
Oh man, what a waste.
He read it in the leaves
They didn't like his magic,
So they strung him from a tree.
Oh man, what a pity--
He was a friend of mine.
You can see my tattoos.
Babe, there was no other--
Only you.
Oh yes, only you.
I can't believe it's true.
Your mother was the ocean,
And you're a sky of blue.
Oh, now, don't you feel blue?
Oh, 'cause yes, I feel blue.
