You know nothin's gettin' done    When talk is all you hear   Like someone revvin' up a truck    They never put in gear   But you don't see a cowboy run his mouth    And strut around   He just takes the bull by the horns    And throws him to the ground   Takin' care of business 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, lightnin' 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   There ain't no limit in this life to how far you can get   But if you're goin' all the way you gotta break a sweat      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, lightnin' does the work      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   The thunder's busy talkin', and lightnin's kickin'      --- Instrumental ---      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, lightnin' does the work      Thunder's just a noise, boys, lightnin' does the work      It's gonna getcha, getcha good...
