Lyrics The Brian Setzer Orchestra

The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Drive Like Lightning (Crash Like Thunder)

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
