Mama always said I was born on the wild side
One foot in the flames and the other
Trying to walk the line
Can't 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
Till the darkness pulls me under
Gonna fly on
Wings of fire
Pray the good Lord leads me higher
Singing oh, when they call me home
Singing, oh, when they call me home
Gonna ride the lightning
There's a man in a black coat standing
At a crossroads
With a pad in his handsand
A long list of lost souls
They say he flips a coin forged out of fools gold
There's a man in a black coat standing
At a crossroads
I hope he lets me pass by
And I close my eyes
I'm gonna ride the lightning
Feel the thunder
Till the darkness pulls me under
Gonna fly on
Wings of fire
Pray the good Lord leads me higher
Singing oh, when they call me home
Singing, oh, when they call me home
Gonna ride the lightning
Ride the lightning
Ride the lightning-ing
I'm gonna ride the lightning
Feel the thunder
Till the darkness pulls me under
Gonna fly on
Wings of fire
Pray the good Lord leads me higher
Singing oh, when they call me home
Singing, oh, when they call me home
Gonna ride the lightning
