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

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

I'm gonna race with the devil, speedin' down the track
Well, if she beats me to the line, I'm never comin' back
You won't get out alive so it ain't no wonder
I 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's foot hangin' from my black leather jacket
Shakin' like a leaf, it ain't no wonder
I drive like lightning, crash like thunder

Well, baby, please try to understand

Just a little speck of dust blowin' in the sand
We won't get out alive, so why should we wonder
I 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

I drive like lightning
I drive like lightning
I drive like lightning
I drive like lightning crash like thunder
