Had lips like candy
 Hair floated like water
 Skin like velvet made
 The whole [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 storm clouds in sight
 Oh but don't you worry friend
 [bad word] around the bend
 She's holding lightning in both hands

 Lord please know
 It's not time for me to go
 The river has my 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

 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 storm clouds in sight
 Oh but don't you worry friend
 [bad word] around the bend
 She's holding lightning in both hands

 She's a natural disaster
 She'll tear the land in two
 [bad word] to [bad word]  Cause it's all she knows to do
 She's a tumbleweed rolling
 [bad word] wild
 hurricane blowing
 She's the calm after the storm
 Under an Appalachian sunset sky

 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 storm clouds in sight
 Oh but don't you worry friend
 [bad word] around the bend
 She's holding lightning in both hands

 She's like rain
 She rolls in
 But there's sunshine in her thunder
 [bad word] around the bend
 She's holding lightning in both hands
