Lyrics
Fields Of Thunder
Copyright Sonny B. Bell and Robert Allred
There's a subtle change in the prairie wind
A big storm brewin' on the plains again
Where the Kansas farmer once tilled the ground
Hey, listen everybody, you can feel the sound
Chorus:
Fie-e-elds of thunder
Rumble with the roar of big machines
Fie-e-elds of thunder
You can almost taste the smell of gasoline
When the cars fly by the finish line
And the rush pulls you under
You?ll see the light and you?ll know why they're called...
Fields of thunder
Born in the gray Daytona sand
It rises up from the great heart-land
Purple and gold in the Kansas sun
Everybody come see the big dogs run... in
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
Like a big tornado just touched down
Forty-three cars cut a path around
(repeat chorus)
