Woke up sad
When am I ever gonna learn
It's in my head
But I can't say the words
I had it in my hands
Lost my nerve
I gave it and I got it
In return
One day
I'll come around
Wonder when
I'll turn around
And start again
My fingerprints
Have left their traces
On all the things
The people and the places
I ever felt
And felt a part of
I touched the life
And kissed the heart of
One day
I'll come around
Wonder when
I'll turn around
And start again
Start again
Nothing dies
Nothing ever dies
Woke up sad
When am I ever gonna learn
It's in my head
Time to take my turn
I had it in my hands
Lost my nerve
Gave it and I got it
In return
And one day
I'll come around
Wonder when
I'll turn around
And start again
I'll come around
And start again
Start again
Wonder when
Wonder when
Wonder whenI'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 lightning
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 your six feet under
Drive like lightning
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 lightning
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 lightning
Crash like thunder
