INTRO: (2x) Mama said slow down, but I was goin' to fast to listen Said what goes 'round comes around, but only time could get my attention But as I look back now over advice well given I can't help wonderin' how it is that I'm still livin' I had some wild friends, we did some crazy things We kept some long late hours, we dared the lightnin' We took it to the edge, runnin' full speed ahead We laid our lives on the line, we dared the lightnin' It really blows my mind, I don't know how that I survived Still I go back from time to time, visit others by their graveside Wish mama had lived to see now I have kids of my own She'd be laughin' at me but mama'd never cast a stone CHORUS BRIDGE: It was like playin' Russian roulette, always braggin' and bluffin' Racin' 'round in our gin bullets, we never stopped at nothin' SOLO CHORUS We laid our lives on the line, we dared the lightnin' We dared the lightnin', we dared the lightnin' We dared the lightnin' (repeat and fade)
