[Verse 1]
I woke up when the world was a child
It was so bright then
Mother broke the sky with a sound
It was called lightnin'
And then I made myself, made myself
Into what I am
And then I walked myself, walked myself
Upon the dry land

[Chorus]
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
Oh it can be so frightenin'
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
The world can be so cruel

[Verse 2]
Never was a plane in the sky
That landed on a buildin'
Never was a hole in my heart
Until I drilled it
And then I made myself, made mysеlf
Into what I am
And then I wrecked mysеlf, wrecked myself
With the violence
[Chorus]
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
The world can be so frightenin'
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
The world can be so cruel
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
The world can be so frightenin'
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
The world can be so cruel

[Guitar solo]
[it is very good]

[Chorus]
Heat lightnin'
The world can be so frightenin'
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
The world can be so cruel
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
The world can be so frightenin'
Oh gimme heat lightnin'
The world can be so cruel
(Hey)
