Vance Gilbert – Lightnin’ Rod Lyrics
Artist: Vance Gilbert
Song: Lightnin’ Rod
When it’s in mint condition
Love comes and goes for free
But you like to buy your trouble
You get electrified
By the sad and lonely side
When it comes down through the wires
If it makes it to your ears
One day it sounds like
Love everlasting
Next day it’s like the
Last thing that you needed
Was a
Hundred watts of heartache
Mainline to your soul
Lost your insulation
Right down to the core
Always run from trouble
And it always tracks you down
Hits you quick and hard
You’re a lightnin’ rod
Too bad about your attraction
To everything gone wrong
Religion won’t save you
You’ve been gone too long
And you’re too old
For your mother’s alien arms
Friends with good intentions
Try to shield you from the shock
Well, they think they’re nice
With their raggedy-assed advice
It’s too late for them now
You’re gonna pay the price
With a
Hundred watts of heartache
Mainline to your soul
Lost your insulation
Right down to the core
Always run from trouble
And it always tracks you down
Hits you quick and hard
You’re a lightnin’ rod
Like a lightnin’ rod
You shimmer, glow and shine
`Til the voltage drops
And then you make your disconnection
No one will know inside
That you’ve been turned off
And there’s no more time
And they’ll be no more risking
Your affection
Here’s a tip you can take with you, baby
A little shelter from yourself
If you can’t be strong be graceful
If you can’t be cool be kind to someone else
But don’t let anybody tell you
When you can and cannot cry
Your feet are wet but the line is hot
Hold on tight when it’s all you got
It’s like a
Hundred watts of heartache
Mainline to your soul
Lost your insulation
Right down to the core
Always run from trouble
And it always tracks you down
Hits you quick and hard
You’re a lightnin’ rod
