Verse 1
Sun ain’t up but the ice lights glow
Headed north where the cold winds blow
Coffee steamin’ in a four-wheel drive
Lake of the Woods feels more alive
Tracks in the snow, radios hum
Another good day — yeah, here we come
Pre-Chorus
Hear that auger sing through the ice
Feels like luck but it ain’t no dice
Chorus
We got sleepers on Lake of the Woods, warm and tight
Heaters hummin’ while the fishin’s right
Slot eyes bitin’, sturgeon run deep
Northern pike and crappies in a snow-white sweep
From first light bites to a midnight fight
You’ll sleep good out here when the rods bend right
Yeah it’s more than fish — it’s livin’ good
In the sleepers on Lake of the Woods
Verse 2
Kids laughin’ when the bobbers drop
Old friends sayin’ “don’t ever stop”
Rattle reels sing and the flags fly high
Stories grow as the sun sinks by
Every hole holds a brand-new chance
Ice below us, stars above — man
Pre-Chorus
When the screen lights up and the drag screams loud
That’s the sound of a frozen crowd
Chorus
We got sleepers on Lake of the Woods, warm and tight
Heaters hummin’ while the fishin’s right
Slot eyes bitin’, sturgeon run deep
Northern pike and crappies in a snow-white sweep
From first light bites to a midnight fight
You’ll sleep good out here when the rods bend right
Yeah it’s more than fish — it’s livin’ good
In the sleepers on Lake of the Woods
Bridge
Cold air, red cheeks, frozen beards
Best damn memories of the year
Lines down deep, worries gone
Out here, life feels strong
Final Chorus (Big)
Yeah sleepers on Lake of the Woods, best nights on ice
Five-star comfort with a northern bite
Slot fish flashin’ in the glow
Sturgeon rollin’ way down low
Northern strike, crappies too
Every trip feels brand-new
Come find out what the talk’s about
Sleepers on Lake of the Woods — no doubt

When the ice cracks loud and the stars shine bright
You’ll remember this lake the rest of your life!
