Black Earth, WI Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How'd I ever know you
Quite like I was told to?
Make sure you love each other nice now
Oh, I was hypnotized
Caught up in the northern lights
Driving around in circles

[Chorus]
Singin' hey now
What was that sound?
Lighting a match just to f-freak you out

[Verse 2]
Ooh, then on the other side
I saw fifty yellow lines
Pushing up against the window
And with one almighty lightning strike
The Great Lake rose up behind
Said, "Baby, you best turn around"

[Chorus]
So I went back
I went back to the shore
To follow Her pathway forevermore, yeah
[Outro]
Crushin' the blades, great freight train
Make the wind go away
(Kick it back, don't leave me out)
And if that mockingbird don't sing
Watch her do the twist again
(Does that black dirt freak you out?)
And if she's twisted up too tight
Let the dawn cut through the night
(Kick it back, don't leave me out)
And if that day do slowly break
Make your way down to the lake
(Does that black dirt freak you out?)
(Does that black dirt freak you out?)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
