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 we were 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'd get 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' Really blows my mind I don't know how did I survive And still I go back from time to time Visit others by their grave site Wish momma had lived to see Now I have kids of my own She'd be laughin' at me But momma never cast a stone I had some wild friends We did some crazy things We'd get 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 was like playin Russian Roulette Always braggin' and bluffin' Racin 'round and dodgin' bullets We never stopped at nothin' I had some wild friends We did some crazy things We'd get 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' We laid our lives on the line We dared the lightnin' We dared the lightnin' We dared the lightnin' We dared the lightnin' We dared the lightnin' We dared the lightnin'
