Song lyrics
Three thirty in the morning 
Not a soul in sight 
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 a 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 

(Chorus) 
The thunder rolls 
And the lightning 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 

*(Some versions may not have this part)*

She runs back down the hallway 
And through the bedroom door 
She reaches for the pistol 
Kept in the dresser drawer 
Tells the lady in 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 lightnin' strikes 
Another love grows cold, darlin' 
On a sleepless night 
As the storm blows on 
Out of control 
Deep in her heart 
The thunder rolls

I love this song. I guess this would have to be the song that got me into his music. The whole sweet revenge thing is awesome...but I have noticed in the video (when it aired on VH1) the third verse is edited due to it's content. I didnt really notice it untill I heard the song on The "Double Live" CD, then I loved the song again and said "He diserved it"

Also the whole contiversy over this song was stupid, but this wasent the only song at the time with the same contiversy around it, Janet Jackson had a song that had the same problem.

I'm not much of a country type person, but this has to be one of the coolest songs I've ever heard. It's a story about something that has probably happened more than once in the world. It's such a great song, I don't care if I get made fun of for liking it! (As I would at school and what not) but it's a great song.

I love this song. I first heard it when I was about 5, on the No Fences Album, and I fell in love with it immediately. Since then I've been a HUGE Garth Brooks fan since. I get chills every time I hear it.
