Oh darlin’ let’s set the scene
I was riding through countryside
Daydreams and sweet sixteen
The view from the passenger seat
All I saw were fields for miles
And everything I wanted to be
Oh that feeling stayed with me
‘Til I was twenty-three
And you took one look at me
And I couldn’t take it
Just for a minute
I was back under that wide open sky
It struck me down all this white lightning
Fell to the ground and then you came running
It’s all so clear, everything is happenin’ here
You struck me down with all your white lightning
Cornflower blue swirling in your iris
It’s all so clear, everything is happenin’ here
Electric air against my skin
Rosy flush from the wind
Cell towers perched tall
Hovering above it all
Everything within my grasp
Even what wasn’t meant to last
I felt I’d find you in my bones
Telephone wires led me home
And you took one look at me
And I couldn’t take it
Just for a minute
I was back under that wide open sky
It struck me down all this white lightning
Fell to the ground and then you came running
It’s all so clear, everything is happenin’ here
You struck me down with all your white lightning
Cornflower blue swirling in your iris
It’s all so clear, everything is happenin’ here
I felt it in my soul
I couldn’t let you go
I didn’t tell you though
‘Til you had to know
You struck me down
You struck me down
With all your white
With all your white lightning
