We Dared the Lightning Lyrics

INTRO: D G Cadd9 (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'
CHORUS:
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
BRIDGE:
It was like playin' Russian roulette, always braggin' and bluffin'
Racin' 'round in our gin bullets, we never stopped at nothin'
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)
