Ride the Lightning (717 Tapes)

Mama always said I was born on the wild side

One foot in the flames and the other tryin' to walk the line

Can't say I never saw it comin', I could see the warnin' 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 lightnin', feel the thunder

Till the darkness pulls me under

Gonna fly on wings of fire

Pray the good Lord lifts me higher

Singin', "Oh, when they call me home"

Singin', "Oh, when they call me home"

I'm gonna ride the lightnin'

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

With a pen 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 black coat standin' at a crossroads

I hope he lets me pass by

When I close my eyes

I'm gonna ride the lightnin', feel the thunder

Till the darkness pulls me under

Gonna fly on wings of fire

Pray the good Lord lifts me higher

Singin', "Oh, when they call me home"

Singin', "Oh, when they call me home"

I'm gonna ride the lightnin', ride the lightnin', ride the lightnin'

I'm gonna ride the lightnin', feel the thunder

Till the darkness pulls me under

Gonna fly on wings of fire

Pray the good Lord lifts me higher

Singin', "Oh, when they call me home"

Singin', "Oh, when they call me home"

I'm gonna ride the lightnin'
