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'
