[INTRO] [VERSE 1] Midnight train rolling through the rain Black clouds hanging over the mountain range Every window shaking in the storm As the thunder starts to roar Headlight cutting through the dark Steel wheels throwing off a shower of sparks From the locomotive to the last red light We keep rolling through the night [PRE-CHORUS] Lightning flashes down the line And the whole sky comes alive You can feel the mountain shake [CHORUS] Thunder in the valley, rolling down the line (Rolling down the line) Lightning keeps on flashing through the night (Through the night) Taking us where the tracks all disappear Lord, there’s thunder in the valley [VERSE 2] Every mile gets darker than the last Rain keeps beating on the window glass Through the canyon where the shadows move There’s nothing left for us to do The whistle echoes off the stone Then it fades into the unknown And the wheels keep pounding through the rain As the storm comes down again [PRE-CHORUS] The whistle blows, the wheels turn round And that freight keeps rolling on When the lightning splits the sky There’s nowhere left to hide [CHORUS] Thunder in the valley, rolling down the line (Rolling down the line) Lightning keeps on flashing through the night (Through the night) Taking us where the tracks all disappear Lord, there’s thunder in the valley [BRIDGE] Well the headlight cuts the darkness And the rain comes pouring down But nobody’s turning back now When the storm is all around It’s the sound of steel and thunder That keeps pounding through the night As the mountain walls come closer And the lightning fills the sky [BREAKDOWN] Thunder in the valley… (Thunder in the valley…) Rolling down the line… (Rolling down the line…) Lightning keeps on flashing… (Through the night…) [FINAL CHORUS] Thunder in the valley, rolling down the line (Rolling down the line) Lightning keeps on flashing through the night (Through the night) Taking us where the tracks all disappear Lord, there’s thunder in the valley Thunder in the valley… (Rolling down the line) Lightning keeps on flashing… (Through the night…) Lord, there’s thunder in the valley [OUTRO] Thunder in the valley… Rolling down the line… Wooooooo…
