Lightning Gold is on the backstretch
Galloping through the hammered sunshine
Mr Mercury Soul is coming home now
He counts the days, he counts the nights too
Bobby's cold, under the weather
He's trying to hear; they're in the boozer
When troubles come they come mob-handed
But they're holding hands under the table
Then her voice comes back, he doesn't know if
He is on foot or horseback
Mrs. Wendy Jones is sitting waiting
The sky fell down she didn't hear it
Lightning Gold is almost home now
Looks like he's saying that's you all over
Driver stands right on the last bend
Slips on his gloves, looking and waiting
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Lightning Gold is on the home stretch
Mr Mercury Soul is coming home now
