Mama always said I was born on the wild side
One foot in the flames and the other trying to walk the line
Cant 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
Gonna ride the lightning
Theres 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 cliffs are gone, forged out of fools gold
Theres a man in a black coat standing at a crossroads
I hope he lets me pass by
And I close my eyes
Im 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
Im gonna ride the lightning
Ride the lightning
Ride the lightning
Im 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
Gonna ride the lightning
