"Feels Like Thunder in My Veins"

(Southern Gritty Blues)

Verse 1
Sun went down on a broken county line
Dust on my boots and trouble on my mind
Old six-string cryin’ through the summer heat
Heart still poundin’ to a memory beat
Lightning flashed but the rain never came
Some scars heal but they don’t lose their name
Got your shadow ridin’ shotgun again
And every mile pulls me back in

Chorus
Feels like thunder in my veins
Rollin’ wild through these old backroads again
Can’t outrun what the storm still claims
Every heartbeat callin’ out your name
Sky keeps talkin’, but nothin’ ever changes
Feels like thunder in my veins

Verse 2
Neon buzz from that roadside bar
Everybody’s close but they all feel far
Bartender said, “Boy, leave it behind”
But storms got roots when they live in your mind
Steel guitar cuts like a midnight train
Some nights burn but don’t leave a flame
Still stand tall though the clouds remain
Carryin’ weather no man can tame

Chorus
Feels like thunder in my veins
Rollin’ wild through these old backroads again
Can’t outrun what the storm still claims
Every heartbeat callin’ out your name
Sky keeps talkin’, but nothin’ ever changes
Feels like thunder in my veins

Verse 3
Moon hung low like a rusted chain
Cold wind whisperin’ through the windowpane
Thought time would wash your ghost away
But some old rivers never change
Pulled off slow where the blacktop bends
Talked to the night like an old lost friend
No peace found but I made my stand
Storm in my blood and fire in my hands

Bridge
So let it roll, let the heavens speak
I ain’t as strong as I look some weeks
But I’m still here and I still remain
Walkin’ through the thunder, wearin’ the rain
If your memory’s all that fate allows
Then I’ll carry that sound somehow
Till the clouds break or my road just ends
With that thunder still runnin’ in my veins

Final Chorus
Feels like thunder in my veins
Rollin’ wild through these old backroads again
Can’t outrun what the storm still claims
Every heartbeat callin’ out your name
Sky keeps talkin’, but nothin’ ever changes
But I’m still standin’ through the hurt and pain
Yeah… it still feels like thunder in my veins

Outro
Last light fading… tires hum low…
Storm ain’t gone… just learned where to go…
And somewhere down this endless lane…
I still feel that thunder…
Thunder in my veins… 🎸
