17 Oct 00 - 11:32 PM (#321495) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Thunder and Lightening From: Hotspur Can you give any more information? I know a fairly recent country song which has the lines "thunder's just a noise, boys, lightning does the work" etc. Don't know if that's what you want. I can't remember just now who sang it, but I'm sure it was NOT by anybody named Hank. |

I know that this one is contemporary, but since i haven't actually HEARD the song...sigh. Just trying to help a net-less friend out. Thank you so much for your time on this. Truly appreciate it. |

The song I'm thinking of is by Chad Brock and the lyrics can (hopefully) be found here: < href="http://members.aol.com/cntrylyrcs/chadbrock.html#song8">Click here Damn. I don't understand these things. OK, here's the plain address instead http://members.aol.com/cntrylyrcs/chadbrock.html#song8 |

Anyone printing it out, print page 8 of 8, unless you want all 10 pages. Will check with friend, and see if this is what he was after. Great lyrics, regardless, thank you so much! |

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).] |

Who said spelling is not important ?? |
