Lyrics Drive Like Lightnin' (Crash Like Thunder) - The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Drive Like Lightnin' (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 lightnin', 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 you’re six feet under
Drive like lightnin', 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 lightnin', 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 lightnin', crash like thunder
