[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
When I lay myself to sleep
Pray that I don't go too deep
Lightning won, lightning won
Because it's cold down, gold down there, crow
[Verse 2]
Flatlands, lowlands on the track
Shows the water, pan the track
Lightning won, lightning won
Close up hands to silhouette, crow
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
Lightning won
Lightning won
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
Hound bark on the track
Hound crow hold onto your hat
Lightning won, lightning won
The lowlands, timberlands, badlands, birdlands
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
