Paint By Lightning Lyrics by Jonathan Terrell

A Couple 2, 3…

2022

[Verse 1]
Threadbare angel, you've got so much fight and you
Wanna disappear like a train at night but there's
Something keeps you and it holds you here
It ain't love, no, it ain't fear of these

[Pre-Chorus]
Casanovas, cowboy Romeos leave your
Empty hands filled with drunken poems 'bout some
Blue Matisse with her Levi's torn
You've been a masterpiece since you were born

[Chorus]
When you paint
Paint by lightning

[Verse 2]
Highway neon crosses Oklahoma sky
Palomino running through the darkness in her mind
Blonde hair falling cross the hips of my guitar
Tornado warning leaving homеtown scars

[Pre-Chorus]
Through these main street alleys, collar pullеd up tight
High and lonesome's been the love of your life
But you are born to love, you are built for fighting
Underneath your thunder are your brushstrokes hiding

[Chorus]
When you paint
Paint by lightning
When you paint
Paint by lightning

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Toss and turn, toil and tumble
Each shuddered breath, I hear your heartstrings crumble
But I'm right here if you could just see me
Here since the start, tears and dirt on my cheeks, yeah

[Verse 3]
You got your buckskin jacket and that chip on your shoulder
That's the way I like it, fire's best when it smolders
Maybe someday, we'll get our shot at the crown
Maybe someday, you and I gon' burn this shit town

[Pre-Chorus]
Till then I'm just a shadow in the rain, cold and biting
Dancing in the thunder while your brushstrokes hide

[Chorus]
While you paint
Paint by lightning
While you paint
Paint by lightning
While you paint
Paint by lightning

[Outro]
Baby, paint
Paint by lightning
