I'm gonna take my baby On a little joy ride She'll be ghost-white pale Sittin' by my side 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 a-comin' back You ain't worth nothin' When your six feet under Drive like lightning Crash like thunder
Drive like lightning Crash like thunder Ain't worth nothin' When your six feet under All wrapped up In hot chrome and steel Drag my body 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
Baby please try to understand I'm just a little speck of dust Blowin' in the sand We won't get out alive So why should we wonder Drive like lightning Crash like thunder
