(E. King, J. Van Zant, Gary Rossington, T. Cerney)

I was sittin' at home all alone when I heard that telephone ring

And there on the line was a friend of mine sayin' he wasn't doin' a thing

So I'm steppin' out on the town tonight to party where the drinks are free

There's a sweet young thing ready and waitin' on me



[Chorus:]

Young and fine, strike you blind

Smokestack lightnin' make you lose your mind

She's got looks that kill can fire at will

Smokestack lightnin' she's all I need



When we got to the place I got me a taste

I knew she'd be good for a game

Dancin' out on the floor she was ready for more

She knew all the boys by their names

I said hey sweet thing let me pull your string

Let me take you home

I woke up in a hour with my money and my memory gone.



[Chorus]



Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightnin'



[Chorus]
