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 'Til 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 Therе'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 Thеre's a man in 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 'Til 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 'Til 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
