You know nothins gettin done
When talk is all you hear
Like someone revvin up a truck
They never put in gear
But you dont see a cowboy run his mouth
And strut around
He just takes the bull by the horns
And throws him to the ground
Takin care of business not just puttin on a show
When it gets down to it, everybody knows
It aint the smoke, its the fire that gets the burnin done
If it wasnt for the bullet, nobodyd fear the gun
It aint the bark, it aint the growl, its the bite that hurts
Thunders just a noise, boys, lightnin does the work
You can talk about the farm or you can plow the ground
Argue with a rusty nail or hammer it on down
You can stand there in the dark cussin at the night
Or you can just reach out your hand and turn on the light
There aint no limit in this life to how far you can get
But if youre goin all the way you gotta break a sweat
It aint the smoke, its the fire that gets the burnin done
If it wasnt for the bullet, nobodyd fear the gun
It aint the bark, it aint the growl, its the bite that hurts
Thunders just a noise, boys, lightnin does the work
Ive heard thunder talkin up a storm
Rattlin my windows and knockin on my door
But Ive seen lightnin blow a cypress tree in half
The thunders busy talkin, and lightnins kickin
— Instrumental —
It aint the smoke, its the fire that gets the burnin done
If it wasnt for the bullet, nobodyd fear the gun
It aint the bark, it aint the growl, its the bite that hurts
Thunders just a noise, boys, lightnin does the work
Thunders just a noise, boys, lightnin does the work
Its gonna getcha, getcha good…
