(N.C) A
I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lonely widowed woman
Hellbent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needin' somethin' from eachother
Not knowing yet what that might be
(Dist. Electric Guitar)

verse II
'Till she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadn't worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize
chorus
She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the skies
To watch a storm in all it's wonder
Ragin' in her lovers eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burnin' bright
Rushing head-long in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night
verse III
The summer wind was all around us
Nothin' between us but the night
And when I told her that I never
She softly whispered, "That's alright"
And then I watched her hands of leather

verse IV
I often think about that summer
The sweat the moonlight and the lace
Har.

And I've rarely held another
When I havn't seen her face
Every time I pass a wheatfield

Her hungry arms again
