Sides face grand square
*Three thirty in the morning, not a soul in sight
The city looks like a ghost town on a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield there's a storm moving in
He's headed back from somewhere
Allemande left and weave
And the thunder rolls, and the lightnin' strikes
Swing your lady, promenade tonight
The storm blows on out of control
Deep in her heart, the thunder rolls

Heads (sides) square thru four hands around you go
Out to that corner lady you'll touch 1/4 now
Split circulate and the boys run to the right
Reverse the flutter wheel and do a right & left thru
Square thru three, three hands around
Swing that corner, promenade the town
As the storm blows on, out of control
Deep in her heart, the thunder rolls

Sides face grand square
*She's waitin' by the window, when he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him, thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain, a strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes, allemande left and weave
And the thunder rolls and the lightnin' strikes
A love goes cold on a sleepless night (swing and promenade)
As the the storm blows on out of control
Deep in her heart the thunder rolls

Sides face grand square
*She runs back down the hallway, to the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol, kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror, he won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
Allemande left and weave
The thunder rolls and the lightnin' strikes
Swing your girl, promenade tonight
The storm blows on out of control
Deep in her heart the thunder rolls
