Lyrics
Verse 1
I left the dust in ArizonaStill stuck in my hairYour hat flew off like a promiseAnd I swore you’d be thereI counted six shots, maybe sevenBy the back of that truckNow I’m here at Tanuki ThunderWith my boots caked up
Pre‑Chorus
Bartender, pour me a memoryMake it burn like truthIf my man walked through that front doorI’d know what to do
Chorus
Tanuki Thunder, where you at? (where you at?)Tanuki Thunder, bring him back (bring him back)I’m the girl he left in a flashStill looking mean, still talking trashTanuki Thunder, spin that neon? (spin that neon?)Tanuki Thunder, where’d he gone? (where’d he gone?)If he’s in here, I’ll spot his faceAnd drag my fool back home
Verse 2
mI seen you come in like a pistolBlack boots, red lips, coldHeard you were the girl from TucsonWith a temper made of goldmYour man was asking through the windowThen the sirens closed the roadHe ran hard after troubleAnd trouble found his coat
Pre‑Chorus
You say he’s breathing somewhereThat’s a start, I guessIf he’s been hiding from my furyHe knows it’s for the best
Chorus
Tanuki Thunder, where you at? (where you at?)Tanuki Thunder, bring him back (bring him back)I’m the girl he left in a flashStill looking mean, still talking trashTanuki Thunder, spin that neon? (spin that neon?)Tanuki Thunder, where’d he gone? (where’d he gone?)If he’s in here, I’ll spot his faceAnd drag my fool back home
Bridge
mHe went south with a busted grinSaid he’d double back by dawnBut dawn came dry and emptyAnd the whole damn place moved onThen let him hear my boots nowLet that floorboards groanIf he wants his second chanceHe can earn it all alone
Final Chorus
Tanuki Thunder, where you at? (where you at?)Tanuki Thunder, bring him back (bring him back)I’m the girl he left in a flashStill looking mean, still talking trashTanuki Thunder, spin that neon? (spin that neon?)Tanuki Thunder, where’d he gone? (where’d he gone?)If he’s in here, I’ll spot his faceAnd drag my fool back home
Outro
mIf he walks in, don’t you winkDon’t you laugh, don’t you runI’ll kiss him hardThen tell him what he’s done
