Good is good and bad is bad 
But you don’t know which one you had 
She put your books out on the sidewalk 
Now they’re blowing ‘round 
But they won’t help you when you’re down 

Love’s on your list of things to do 
To bring your good luck back to you 
And if you think that everything’s unfair 
Would you care if you’re the last one standing there 

And every time you hear the rolling thunder 
You turn and run before the lightning strikes 
And does it ever make you stop and wonder 
If all your good times pass you by 

I don’t hold no mystery 
But I can show you how to turn the key 
Cause all I know is where I started 
So downhearted 
And that’s not where you want to be 

And every time you hear the rolling thunder 
You turn and run before the lightning strikes 
And you could find a rock to crawl right under 
And let your good times pass you by 

When the day is done 
And the world is sleeping 
And the moon is on its way to shine
All the friends are gone 
You thought were so worth keeping 
You feel you don’t belong 
But you don’t know why 

And every time you hear the rolling thunder 
You turn and run before the lightning strikes 
And does it ever make you stop and wonder 
If all your good times pass you by 

Every time you hear the rolling thunder
And you turn and run before the lightning strikes
Well does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by

When the day is done 
And the world is sleeping 
And the moon is on its way to shine (shine) 
And all your friends are gone 
You thought were so worth keeping 
You feel you don’t belong 
Neither do I
