The Brian Setzer Orchestra Drive Like Lightning (Crash Like Thunder) lyrics

I'm gonna take my baby on a little joy ride
Well, she'll be ghost-white pale sittin' by my side
Yeah, I'll shakin' like a leaf and it ain't no wonder
Drive like lightning, crash like thunder

I'm gonna race with the devil, speedin' down the track
And if he beats me to the line, I ain't comin' back
Yeah, you ain't worth nothin' when you're six feet under
Drive like lightning, crash like thunder

Drive like lightning crash like thunder
Ain't worth nothin' when you're six feet under
All wrapped up in hot chrome and steel
Drag my body, well, behind the wheel

Got a pair of dice swingin' in my Detroit casket
I got a rabbit foot hangin' from my black leather jacket
We won't get out alive, so it ain't no wonder
Drive like lightning, crash like thunder

Well, baby, please try to understand

I'm just a little speck of dust blowin' in the sand
Yeah, we won't get out alive, so why should we wonder
Drive like lightning, crash like thunder

Drive like lightning crash like thunder
It ain't worth nothin' when you're six feet under
All wrapped up in hot chrome and steel
Drag my body, well, behind the wheel

Drive like lightning crash like thunder
It ain't worth nothin' when you're six feet under
Wrapped up in hot chrome and steel
Drag my body, well, behind the wheel

Drive like lightning, drive like lightning
Drive like lightning, drive like lightning
Crash like thunder
