Best Cheating Songs: No. 19

'The Thunder Rolls'
-- Garth Brooks (1991)

Wandering Words: "The thunder rolls and the lightning strikes/Another love grows cold on a sleepless night."

Bad weather's moving in, which is what the woman hopes is keeping her husband from driving home on a late night. The song never says what she does when he finally shows up smelling of strange perfume. But in the video, famously banned by CMT, she blows the guy away.

Too bad Sandy didn't follow Garth's song. I'm sure there are many nights she wondered where he was and who he was with. He's one of the worst cheaters out of all country singers that I know of.

NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY CMT BANNED THIS SONG, I LIKED IT A HELL OF A LOT. AND IT MADE NO SINCE FOR THEM TO BAN THE SONG SINCE COUNTRY SONGS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR CHEATING AND DRINKING LYRICS.

one of the best songs he ever wrote and sang. Only The Dance tops it.

"The Dance" is a great song. It was written by an excellent songwriter named Tony Arata. "The Thunder Rolls" was co-written by Brooks and another brilliant songwriter, Pat Alger. (Credit where credit is due...)

Well if you listen to the live version with the extra verse, she goes and gets a gun and (presumably) shoots him. I love this version too!

Here's the verse:
She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been

Missed the point of the video. It is obvious in the video (child's fear, woman's balck eye) that hubby is not only a cheater, but an abuser. That seems clear from his treatment of his lover." CMT was stupid. She blows the guy away when he comes at her. I guess CMT doesn't want to deal with domestic violence.
