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.

[repeat chorus]

Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightnin'

[repeat chorus]
