You know nothin's gettin' done when talk is all you hear
It's like someone revvin' up a truck and never put in gear
You don't see a cowbow run his mouth and strut around
He just takes the bull by the horns and throws him to the ground
He's tryin' to make a livin', not just puttin' on a show
When it gets down to it, everybody knows
It ain't the smoke it's the fire that gets the burnin' done
If it wasn't for the bullet nobody'd fear the gun
It ain't the bark, it ain't the growl, it's the bite that hurts
Thunder's just a noise, boys. Lightning 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
Ain't no limit in the life ta how far you can get
But if you're goin' all the way you gotta break a sweat

I've heard thunder, talkin' up a storm
Rattlin' my windows and knockin' on my door
But i've seen lightnin' blow a cypress tree in half
Thunder's busy talkin' and lightnin's kickin'...
