Ride the Lightning

Mama always said I was born on the wild side

One foot in the flames and the other trying to walk the line

Can't say I never saw it coming, I could see the warning signs

Mama always said I was born on the wild side

I guess mama was right

'Cause when the clock strikes midnight

Gonna ride the lightning, feel the thunder

Till the darkness pulls me under

Gonna fly on wings of fire

Pray the good Lord lifts me higher

Singing, "Oh, when they call me home"

Singing, "Oh, when they call me home"

I'm gonna ride the lightning

There's a man in a black coat standing at a crossroads

With a pad in his hand and a long list of lost souls

They say he flips a coin forged out of fool's gold

There's a man in a black coat standing at a crossroads

I hope he lets me pass by

And I close my eyes

I'm gonna ride the lightning, feel the thunder

Till the darkness pulls me under

Gonna fly on wings of fire

Pray the good Lord lifts me higher

Singing, "Oh, when they call me home"

Singing, "Oh, when they call me home"

I'm gonna ride the lightning, ride the lightning, ride the lightning

I'm gonna ride the lightning, feel the thunder

Till the darkness pulls me under

Gonna fly on wings of fire

Pray the good Lord lifts me higher

Singing, "Oh, when they call me home"

Singing, "Oh, when they call me home"

I'm gonna ride the lightning
