Of course, I don't know whether this is the song that was originally wanted, but this is the one Hotspur was referring to:


LIGHTNING DOES THE WORK
Chad Brock / Kelly Garrett / John Hadley

You know nothin's gettin' done when talk is all you hear,
Like someone revvin' up a truck never put in gear,
But you don't see a cowboy run his mouth and strut around.
He just takes the bull by the horns and throws him to the ground,
Takin' care of business, not just puttin' on a show.
When it gets down to it, everybody knows—

CHORUS: It ain't the smoke; it's the fire that gets the burnin' done.
If it wasn't for the bullet, nobody'd fear the gun.
It ain't the bark; it ain't the growl; it's the bite that hurts.
Thunder's just a noise, boys. Lightnin' does the work.

You can talk about the farm or you can plow the ground,
Argue with a rusty nail or hammer it on down.
You can stand there in the dark cussin' at the night,
Or you can just reach out your hand and turn on the light.
There ain't no limit in this life to how far you can get,
But if you're goin' all the way, you gotta break a sweat. CHORUS

I've heard thunder talkin' up a storm,
Rattlin' my windows and knockin' on my door.
But I've seen lightnin' blow a cypress tree in half.
The thunder's busy talkin', and lightnin's kickin'. CHORUS

Thunder's just a noise, boys, lightnin' does the work
Ahh yeah
Gonna getcha
Getcha good


[Recorded by Chad Brock on "Chad Brock" (1998) and on "III" (2001).]
