Löysin itseni taas sun oven takaa
Vaikka luulin et mun täytyy päästä oleen vapaa
Mut sä tajuut mua paremmin kun kukaan muu täällä
Ja nyt ku meidän jutuista ei kukaan muu päätä
Mä en taho et sä lähet eri suuntaan
Mut toi moottoritie on kuuma
Ja se meidän nimii huutaa

En sua pois pysty sulkee
Ollaan synnytty kulkee

Salamatie, jahdataan unelmaa salamatiellä,
Joskus perillä vielä
Salamatie, se ikuisuuteen asti edessä johtaa,
Jos sen mahiksen ottaa
Salamatie, tie, tie, tie
Kohti kaunista hulluu kohtaloamme vie
Salamatie

Voidaan eksyä, niinku tiellä moni tekee,
Mutta pahempaa on jos tää meidän tsäänssi ohi menee
En voi tänne enää venaamaan jäädä
Ja vaan noi kaksi kaistaa meidät pelastaa täältä
En oo sankari enkä herra oikeakaan
Muttei meil oo hävittävää
Vaan pelkkää voitettavaa

En sua pois pysty sulkee,
Ollaan synnytty kulkee

Salamatie, jahdataan unelmaa salamatiellä,
Joskus perillä vielä
Salamatie, se ikuisuuteen asti edessä johtaa,
Jos sen mahiksen ottaa
Salamatie, tie, tie, tie
Kohti kaunista hulluu kohtaloamme vie
Salamatie

Sua ja mua ei ole luotu paikoilleen juuttumaan
Mut lupaan että löydetään vielä se paikka, johon kuulutaan

Salamatie, jahdataan unelmaa salamatiellä,
Joskus perillä vielä
Salamatie, se ikuisuuteen asti edessä johtaa,
Jos sen mahiksen ottaa
Salamatie, tie, tie, tie
Kohti kaunista hulluu kohtaloamme vie

I found myself again behind your door
Allthough I thought I need to be free
But you understand me better than anybody else here
And now when nobody else won't decide for ourselves
I don't want you to go to different direction
But that highway is hot
And it's shouting our names

I can't shut you out of my life
We are born to run

Lightningroad, let's chase our dream on lightningroad
Someday we'll be there
Lightningroad, leads forward to eternity
If you take the chance
Lightningroad, road, road, road
Towards our crazy destiny it leads
Lightningroad

We can get lost, like many does on the road
But it's worse if our chance passes by
I can't wait here any longer
Those two lanes will save us from here
I'm not a hero, nor mister right
But we have nothing to lose
Only something to win

I can't shut you out of my life
We are born to run

Lightningroad, let's chase our dream on lightningroad
Someday we'll be there
Lightningroad, leads forward to eternity
If you take the chance
Lightningroad, road, road, road
Towards our crazy destiny it leads
Lightningroad

You and me are not made to stick to our places
But I promise that we'll find the place, where we belong

Lightningroad, let's chase our dream on lightningroad
Someday we'll be there
Lightningroad, leads forward to eternity
If you take the chance
Lightningroad, road, road, road
Towards our crazy destiny it leads
Lightningroad
Lightningroad
