White Lightning

No promises

No guarantees

When you come down here you're

Already on your knees

You wanna ride white lightnin', then just sign your name

If you wanna dance with the devil, you gotta play his way

(Play the game)

You gotta taste that sweetness

'Cause you can't say no

But are you ready for the nightmare

When you can't let go

Like a soldier of fortune

When the money runs dry

You've got rivers of bitter tears

(In your eyes)



You wanna leave but you can't let go

You wanna stop but you can't say no

(You never laugh about it, you just can't live without it)

You've had enough but you just want more

You never get what you're looking for

(You never laugh about it)



You've got both ends burning

Like a moth to a flame

You're going off the rails

Like a runaway train

It's a no-win situation

And there's no way out

And no one will ever hear you, scream and shout



You wanna leave but you can't let go

You wanna stop but you can't say no

(You never laugh about it, you just can't live without it)

You've had enough but you just want more

You never get what you're looking for

(You never laugh about it)



Run, he's coming to claim you

Run, nowhere to hide away

Run, you dance with danger

Run, oh you gotta ride



The white lightning, on a dead end street

White lightning, where the deadbeats meet

White lightning, it's a one way ride

White lightning, oh, there's nowhere to hide



Such a lonely road you ride

It's not easy when you don't know why

Such a heavy load you hide

You never leave no matter how you try



Run, he's coming to claim you

Run, nowhere to hide away

Run, you dance with danger

Run, oh you gotta ride



The white lightning, on a dead end street

White lightning, where the deadbeats meet

White lightning, it's a one way ride

White lightning, oh, there's nowhere to hide
