Lightning Bolt

(álbum: Glory - 2023)

She spent the 90s living through a TV
Sitting cross-legged two feet from a screen
She moves like she's in a dream
Her boyfriends eyes are neon green
She hit the century looking for some fun
Like she's staring back into the barrel of a gun
One blink, she's already gone
Don't you fuck around and fall in love

And don't ask questions you don't wanna know
About the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah

Did you think you were gonna get married?
Make a baby, fall asleep, and get buried
My, my, it's like a movie scene
Now your Americana is losing its steam
You see pictures, she's in Barcelona
Staring through a camera like she's never known ya
See the wind blowing through her hair
That's God's way of telling you he don't care

She'll tell you to stay but she wants you to go
It's the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah

Oh there's nothing left to say
The lady always gets away
She's not yours to take
Oh there's nothing left to do
Maybe she'll remember you
She's not yours to take

She'll tell you to stay but she wants you to go
Don't ask questions you don't wanna know
About the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah

Go to bed, boy
It's a lonely life
You got hit, you got hurt
The lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
