verse 2        Every light is burnin', in a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone in her faded flannel gown

Deep in her heart     the thunder rolls

verse 3        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

She runs back down the hallway, through the bedroom door.
She reaches for the pistol hidden in the dresser drawer.
Tells the lady in the mirror, "He won't do this again!".
Tonight'll be the last time she'll wonder where he's been...

And the thunder rolls...

Garth plays this at most of his concerts (well, the two I've been to at
least), plus he played it on his T.V. special.
