Lightning Does the Work

You know nothin's gettin' done
 When talk is all you hear
 Like someone revvin' up a truck
 They never put in gear
 But you don't see a cowboy run his mouth
 And strut around
 He just takes the bull by the horns
 And throws him to the ground
 Takin' care of business not just puttin' on a show
 When it gets down to it, everybody knows
 It ain't the smoke, it's the fire that gets the burnin' done
 If it wasn't for the bullet, nobody'd fear the gun
 It ain't the bark, it ain't the growl, it's the bite that hurts
 Thunder's just a noise, boys, lightnin' does the work
 You can talk about the farm or you can plow the ground
 Argue with a rusty nail or hammer it on down
 You can stand there in the dark cussin' at the night
 Or you can just reach out your hand and turn on the light
 There ain't no limit in this life to how far you can get
 But if you're goin' all the way you gotta break a sweat
 It ain't the smoke, it's the fire that gets the burnin' done
 If it wasn't for the bullet, nobody'd fear the gun
 It ain't the bark, it ain't the growl, it's the bite that hurts
 Thunder's just a noise, boys, lightnin' does the work
 I've heard thunder talkin' up a storm
 Rattlin' my windows and knockin' on my door
 But I've seen lightnin' blow a cypress tree in half
 The thunder's busy talkin', and lightnin's kickin'

 Thunder's just a noise, boys, lightnin' does the work
 It's gonna getcha, getcha good...
