lyrics

Sideways lightning splitting up the sky
Sideways lightning splitting up the sky
Sideways lightning splitting up the sky
Weatherman says that rain'll come by and by

What are you doing with that white dress on?
What are you doing with that white dress on?
What are you doing with that white dress on?
Don't you know we're waiting on a thunderstorm?

With your hair so pretty and your bun all sewed up right
With your hair so pretty and your bun all sewed up right
With your hair so pretty and your bun all sewed up right
You look like a storm would do you right

Sideways lightning dance over Salt Creek
Sideways lightning dance over Salt Creek
Sideways lightning dance over Salt Creek
Don't you wanna give me just a little sideways peek?

I'm flat broke with the sideways lightning blues
I'm flat broke with the sideways lightning blues
I'm flat broke with the sideways lightning blues
I wish I had me some sideways lightning shoes

Sideways lightning splitting up the sky
Sideways lightning splitting up the sky
Sideways lightning splitting up the sky
Weatherman says that rain'll come by and by
