He showed up in black
Preached out in the heat
Chased out to the road
Jumped on in with me
He's older and Im young
Far too young to see
Thunderbolt was speakin'
Preachin' right at me
The plan had been done
By Thunderbolt and son
One of them fell dead
July 51
10 years gone and done
We took out the wall
Loaded up the trunk
The cherry's turned on
Our partners beat us down
Kicked hard, bled inside
They were shot down soon
We chose to run and hide
Found that tiny school
We opened up the wall
The moneys still wrapped up
Since July of 51
We bought a brand new car
With Backwoods all to light
Drove into the day
That's when I said "goodnight"
Thunderbolt stopped the car
Shook Lightfoot twice
And with one eye closed
That's when I said "goodnight"
Preached out in the heat
