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
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
