Had lips like candy
Hair flowing like water

Skin like velvet made

The whole damn world slow down

She was a preacher’s daughter

Never did what daddy taught her

And the rebel in her soul

Brought her to me

The river was cold
And the river was wide

She flowed from the mountain
Straight across the great divide
And her heart ran cold
But her love runs deep
She’s fire on the mountain
Wrecking everyone she meets

She’s like rain when she rolls in
But that sunshine in her thunder
Makes the loneliest heart wonder
If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be stone clouds inside
Oh but don’t you worry friend
She’s coming around the bend
She’s holding lightning in both hands

Lord please know
It’s that time for me to go
The river has me heart
She’s the keeper of my soul
On one side of the water
Sweet everlasting grace
The other side could end your life
Or steal your breath away

Makes the loneliest heart wonder
If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be stone clouds inside
Oh but don’t you worry friend
She’s coming around the bend
She’s holding lightning in both hands

She’s a natural disaster
She’ll tear the land in two
She’s running to be running
Cause it’s all she knows to do
She’s a tumble**** rolling
A river running wild
A hurricane blowing
She’s the calm after the storm
Under an Appalachian sunset sky

Makes the loneliest heart wonder
If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be stone clouds inside
Oh but don’t you worry friend
She’s coming around the bend
She’s holding lightning in both hands

She’s like rain

She’s rolls in

But there’s sunshine in her thunder

She’s coming around the band

She’s holding lightning in both hands
