The Thunder Rolled In

[Verse 1] The sky split open, the clouds turned black, Lightning danced like fire, the wind pushed back. The rain fell heavy, like a drumbeat on tin, Last night the storm came rolling in. [Chorus] Oh, the thunder shook the ground so deep, The kind of night that robs your sleep. It howled and roared, a mighty fight, The biggest storm rolled through last night. [Verse 2] The old oak trembled, its roots held tight, The barn doors swung, caught in the fight. Cattle huddled by the weathered fence, Each clap of thunder more intense. [Chorus] Oh, the thunder shook the ground so deep, The kind of night that robs your sleep. It howled and roared, a mighty fight, The biggest storm rolled through last night. [Bridge] Mama lit a lantern, her hands did shake, Pa prayed for mercy, for the heavens’ sake. The roof it rattled, the creek ran high, The storm lit fire to the midnight sky. [Verse 3] Morning broke with the sun’s warm glow, The fields were drowned, but the rivers flowed. The storm it left, but it left its mark, A tale to tell ‘bout that night so dark.
