Make a baby, fall asleep and get buried My mind's like a movie seen Now your Americana is losing 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 The sky's weighing down on 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 her way 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 question you don't wanna know About the the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah It started bad boy ♪ It's a lonely life ♪ You've got me, you've got me Lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
