Tobin James - Blue Sky Lightning
lyrics
You had a good job, baby
With fine and steady pay
You paid your bills, but you still
Had something for a rainy day.
But from a clear blue sky come a lightning,
They went and left you stuck.

But it'll be all right for you,
It's just a run of bad luck.

You had a real fine woman,
She's sweet as morning dew.
There was nothing so bad that you couldn't stand
With her standing right next to you.
But from a clear blue sky come a lightning,
She's got a moving truck.

But it'll be all right for you,
It's just a run of bad luck.

Well, just 'cuz you think that you're cruisin'
Don't mean that you got it made.
'Cuz when you stop lookin' over your shoulder's,
When someone gonna make you pay.
One minute you're on top and you're groovin',
Then you're running out of luck.
You don't look to your friends for no sympathy,
'Cuz it don't seem like they give a...

Now, don't get hostile.
Don't be a bitter man.
I'm just sayin' that you oughta be watchin'
Protect yourself when you can.
'Cuz from a clear blue sky come a lightning,
You're left without a buck.

But it'll be all right for you,
It's just a run of bad luck!
