Story Behind The Song

Watching the lightning dancing across the sky one stormy night. It was beautiful.

Song Description

She is dancing when he comes in the bar, he asks her for a dance, she says no, she continues dancing and trips over a wire setting the place on fire.

DANCE WITH LIGHTNING
© Chapman Severson

Dixie was dancing up a storm
when I walked into the bar
her hair as red as sunset, her eyes were like live wires
Well I wanted her I wanted her I asked her for a dance
she looked me over, tossed her head, and said, Not a chance

She was lightning -- she was wildfire in the night - Wildfire!
She was lightning - like fireworks hot and bright
She shook her hips, blew me a kiss,
said Boy, you've got to learn
If you try to dance with lightning, baby, you'll get burned

Well I totally lost it, didn't care if I got hurt
Just stood there praying she'd want me for dessert
Oh that short red leather skirt, red heels a mile high
She took a step, leaned far back and that skirt rode up her thigh

She was lightning -- she was wildfire in the night - Wildfire!
She was lightning -- like fireworks hot and bright
She shook her hips, blew me a kiss,
said Boy, you've got to learn
If you try to dance with lightning, baby, you'll get burned

Dixie leaned back way too far, her heel caught on a wire
she fell into the drum set, started up a fire
The neon signs exploded, the bottles popped their tops
She sat hard on the sawdust floor, someone called the cops

She was lightning -- she was wildfire in the night -- Wildfire
She was lightning - like fireworks hot and bright
she shook her head, blew me a kiss --
said, Boy, you Live and Learn
If you try to BE the lightning, baby, you'll get burned

She was lightning - She was lightning --
