White Lightning

(album: King Of Dixie - 2017)

Some people go for gold
Then lose sight of their shine
And the sparkle that once was
Gets tarnished in mine
They forget what they was after they fall off the track
And their vision that was vivid gets lost in pitch black

Age starts to take place like a bomb that keeps ticking
And they regret not chasing after it after they had the ambition
The ambition fades away like the red on a rose
And the regret sucks the life from everybody I suppose
But my rose ain't red
It won't die but ain't fake
But when I die I'll drown myself in these lyrics I speak

White lightning
(Chasing white lightning)
(Chasing white lightning)

I ain't no stranger to the rain, I put the sunshine in my grey clouds
Worked hard for where I'm at so it's easier for me to sleep now
But I don't sleep I walk the roads from stop sign to street name
No yellow marks on these back roads so I paint the lines and paint my way
And these framed pics on my wall for my top tens on these music charts
Represent these small towns you'll never see with a big heart
And these lyrics in my songs are the warm spot like a Carhartt
Don't ever forget that one place that made you that person that you are

Many miles I've run, wheels turning on that one lane
Last year's boots, broken soles, chasing one thing
Caught up in the storm, my life it gets me excited
I guess you could say I guess you could say that I'm...
Chasing white lightning
Chasing white lightning
Chasing white lightning
I'm chasing white lightning

Let the rain come down til I can't hear myself think
Let the rain come down and drown the radio out in this little S-10
I wanna go back sometimes to sitting at Sonic doing nothing
Chilling with all my friends on the tailgate, rolling up and jamming something
Yeah, young gun I was one of those putting Jack D in my Dr. Pepper
Had stickers all on my back glass of my truck and made the shit look better
Just a poor boy dreaming too big for the town that I was raised up in
That's why I represent the underdogs, I want them to know that they can win

Many miles I've run, wheels turning on that one lane
Last year's boots, broken soles, chasing one thing
Caught up in the storm, my life it gets me excited
I guess you could say I guess you could say that I'm...
Chasing white lightning
Chasing white lightning
Chasing white lightning
I'm chasing white lightning

Many miles I've run, wheels turning on that one lane
Last year's boots, broken soles, chasing one thing
Caught up in the storm, my life it gets me excited
I guess you could say I guess you could say that I'm...
Chasing white lightning
Chasing white lightning
Chasing white lightning
I'm chasing white lightning
