Smokestack Lightning Lyrics - Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991 - Lynyrd Skynyrd

I was sittin' at home all alone when I heard that telephone ring 

And there on the line was a friend of mine sayin' he wasn't doin' a thing 

So I'm steppin' out on the town tonight to party where the drinks are free 

There's a sweet young thing ready and waitin' on me 

[Chorus] 

Young and fine, strike you blind 

Smokestack lightnin' make you lose your mind 

She's got looks that kill can fire at will 

Smokestack lightnin' she's all I need 

When we got to the place I got me a taste 

I knew she'd be good for a game 

Dancin' out on the floor she was ready for more 

She knew all the boys by their names 

I said hey sweet thing let me pull your string 

Let me take you home 

I woke up in a hour with my money and my memory gone. 

[Chorus] 

Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightnin' 

[Chorus]
