Ride the Lightning Home Verse 1 Black sky rollin’ like a freight train slow Headlights cut through a river of glow White lines dancin’, can’t hold the lane Windshield wipers fightin’ rain Radio’s cracklin’, preacher’s gone Talkin’ ‘bout fire and what went wrong I ain’t listenin’, just holdin’ tight Tryin’ to outrun this devil night Pre-Chorus Steering wheel shakes in my hands Lord knows I don’t understand Why every mile feels like sin Chorus I’m ridin’ lightning home tonight Through the thunder, through the fight Every bolt lights up her name Burnin’ through the pourin’ rain If I make it ‘fore the break of dawn I’ll be right where I belong Heart wide open, soul cut loose Ridin’ lightning… back to you Verse 2 Road’s all water, tires hum low Ghosts in the mirror won’t let me go Tail lights fade like a memory Of every damn thing chasing me Her voice still echoes in my chest Says “boy you run, but you don’t rest” Yeah she’s right and I know it’s true Every road just leads to you Pre-Chorus Storm keeps callin’ my bluff Sayin’ I ain’t strong enough But I ain’t turnin’ again Chorus I’m ridin’ lightning home tonight Through the thunder, through the fight Every bolt lights up her name Burnin’ through the pourin’ rain If I make it ‘fore the break of dawn I’ll be right where I belong Heart wide open, soul cut loose Ridin’ lightning… back to you Bridge If I wash away in this midnight flood Let it take my fear, leave the blood Every mile I drove alone Was just a road to bring me home Final Chorus I’m ridin’ lightning home tonight Through the thunder, through the fight Every bolt lights up her name Callin’ me through wind and rain Ain’t no storm gonna turn me ‘round Ain’t no grave gonna take me down Till I crash through that screen door blue Ridin’ lightning… back to you
