Roll Thunder Roll

from I Love Birds by Coyote Wall

i wouldn’t mind being torn asunder
not by you
i hear the rolling thunder
shake me through

i wanna dance on thin thin ice
howl at the moon
and the good book says that jesus christ 
is coming soon

roll thunder roll

i went down to the riverside met an old man there who looked me in the eye
said son if you wanna get across that river there are things about yourself you’ll have to deny
so i stood by the river for a good long while i was thinking bout the things that i hold dear and whether i could let 'em go
and the river ran dry and the old man died and far away i heard that thunder roll

roll thunder roll
roll thunder roll
roll

cause you’ve got a voice that can stop a heart
and put a mind at ease
and you’ve got a face like a work of art 
and it makes me weak in the knees

roll thunder roll

i wouldn’t mind if you robbed me blind 
i got a lot to lose (thunder roll)
meet me out by the cemetery
where the dead men play that rhythm and blues (thunder roll)

and i
am singing for my supper (thunder roll)
and i
am stuck inside a twister (thunder roll)
and it’s
gonna be a long long winter (thunder roll)
without
you by my side (thunder roll)

and i
am living at the end of the line (thunder roll)
and i
i wanna leave the things i know behind (thunder roll)
and it’s a long long winter baby i got time
so roll thunder roll thunder roll

roll thunder roll 
roll thunder roll
roll
