AC/DC Lyrics

Thunderstruck Lyrics
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh

Thunder, ahh
Thunder, ahh
Thunder, ahh
Thunder, ahh
Thunder, ahh
Thunder, ahh

Thunder
Thunder
Thunder
Thunder

I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (thunder)
I looked 'round
And I knew there was no turning back (thunder)

My mind raced
And I thought, "What could I do?" (thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (thunder)

Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns (yeah)
Tore me apart
You've been thunderstruck

Went down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas
Yeah, Texas, and we had some fun

We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules, played all the fools
Yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our minds

And I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again, please?
Yeah, the ladies were too kind

You've been thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, thunderstruck
Ooh, thunderstruck
Yeah

When I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again, please?

Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh

Ooh, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah

Said, yeah, it's alright
We're doing fine
Yeah, it's alright
We're doing fine, so fine

Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck (thunderstruck)
Whoa, baby, baby (thunderstruck)

You've been thunderstruck (ahh)
Thunderstruck (ahh)
Thunderstruck (ahh)
Thunderstruck (ahh)
You've been thunderstruck

Thunderstruck Info:

• The song peaked at number #5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks.

• 'Thunderstruck' is the first song on the 1990 AC/DC album The Razors Edge.

• Angus Young came up with the riff for the song after flying in a plane that was struck by lightening and nearly crashed.

• Contrary to popular belief, Young does not play Thunderstruck's main riff with one hand. Instead, he picks every note; one can hear the scraping sound that the plastic of his plectrum makes as it hits each note. The one-handed tapping technique can only be seen in the 'Thunderstruck' music video.

• The Australian movie called Thunderstruck (2004) is a comedy about 5 guys who go to an AC/DC show in 1991 and agree to bury the first one who dies next to Bon Scott.
