White Lightning Strike Me Down

Verse 1

Head heavy

My skull feels like a rusted bucket

Kicking the wood floor

Thirsty

Dry tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth

Poured a jar of lightning

Jar of heat

Jar of trouble

Chorus

White lightning strike me down

Copper kettle spins inside my head

Sugar wash turns my face red

I Hear no sound

So Hold me down

I am seeing double in this kitchen

White lightning strike me down

Post-Chorus

Ooh Lord

Have mercy on me

Ooh Lord

grant me serenity

Verse 2

Sweet corn

Rotting on the summer air

Sinking

Deep into the mattress springs

Blind

Squinting at the morning sun

Hard rain

Heavy rain

Honest rain

I can't find my shoes

Where are my boots

Where is the day

Chorus

White lightning strike me down

Copper kettle spins inside my head

Sugar wash turns my face red

I Hear no sound

So Hold me down

I am seeing double in this kitchen

White lightning strike me down

Bridge

Mason jar empty on the rug

Stinging my eyes

Stinging my throat

I paid the price for the shine

I paid the price for the proof

Give me the well water

Give me the cold water

Give me the holy water

Chorus

White lightning strike me down

Copper kettle spins inside my head

Sugar wash turns my face red

I Hear no sound

So Hold me down

I am seeing double in this kitchen

White lightning strike me down

Post-Chorus

oh Lord

Have mercy on me

Oh Lord

grant me serenity

Outro

Corn liquor blues

Mason jar dues

Let the fever break

Let the morning go

Just pull the plug
