Lightning in July (Prairie Fire)

[Verse 1]
I've been put over the fence just short of a time too many
And I'll tell you why I didn't always hit that hard grass runnin'
After all the way down but I always got up buckin'
I always got up meaner than before

[Verse 2]
Like a rattler on the banks of a green south Alta River
Didn't hear me over the west wind, shaking out a warnin'
Ah, they didn't see me coming, must have happened overnight
Lightning in July, prairie fire

[Chorus]
Ooh, like a bad sign
I was hiding in plain sight
In the shadows of the thunder, undercover Lucky Strike
I am lightning in July, prairie fire

[Verse 3]
Been told that I'm out of control for doing what comes natural
Yeah, I sure can make a show, but this is far from full display
I'd rather hide my face than do anything half-way
I'm going too far if I'm gone, yeah, I guess I'm unchained

[Verse 4]
There ain't no man of iron, there ain't no piece of sky
There ain't no untread mile, that I cannot rival
No downpour or dustbowl I cannot make my own
I am lightning in July, prairie fire

[Chorus]
Ooh, like a bad sign
I was hiding in plain sight
In the shadows of the thunder, undercover Lucky Strike
I am lightning in July, prairie fire

[Bridge]
White hot, hit the mark, right off of the charts
Rollin' loud, electric sound, flying sparks and stars
Live wire, high rider, blazing guns
Keep your head up for the hammer, man, I'm quick to draw

[Chorus]
Like a bad sign
I was hiding in plain sight
In the shadows of the thunder, undercover Lucky Strike
I am lightning in July, prairie fire
Lightning in July, prairie fire
Lightning in July, prairie fire
