Country Music - The Thunder Rolls


Yes I do like country songs, horror of horrors, aint a bad thing lol one that come to mine strongly if I might add was this one. This is my fav country singer.. too bad he dun do no more of his songs lol

Wiki on Garth Brooks
Troyal Garth Brooks, born February 7, 1962 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is an American country music singer-songwriter and charity director.

Brooks's music was ubiquitous in the 1990s. He first became visible the year before the decade began, having come apparently from nowhere, and was an immediate commercial success. Lacking the tall and lanky physical appearance typical of some male country stars, he successfully integrated pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances. He soon began to dominate the country singles and country album charts and quickly crossed over into the mainstream pop arena, selling records like no one else in country music ever had and exposing country music to a larger audience than previously thought possible.

"The Thunder Rolls" tells the story of a wife waiting up late into the night for her husband. As he comes into the house, she smells another woman's perfume on him. All of this is set against the backdrop of a storm, representing the tribulation of her marriage.


Garth Brooks - The Thunder Rolls
Three thirty in the mornin', Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night, Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in, He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls, And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin',In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone, In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle, Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather,That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls,And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls,And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold,On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on,Out of control
Deep in her heart,The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window,When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him,Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain,A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes,And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls,And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls,And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold,On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on,Out of control
Deep in her heart,The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway
And through the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
kept in a dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
'Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been

The thunder rolls,And the lightning strikes
Another love grows cold,On a sleepless night
As the storm goes on,Out of control
Deep in her heart,The thunder rolls
