If I get to heaven I better roll me some sevens
'Cause right now my ticket's punched for hell
You rage and fade, I miss too many Sundays
Lord, if you hear me I could surely use some help

'Cause I like to ride the lightnin'
They ain't gonna hang me from a tree
'Cause the things I've done ain't hurt no one
The only one that's hurtin' is me
The only one that's hurtin' is me

Grand Central Station sounded better than graduation
So I packed my bags, so long I'm on a train
Headed to Atlanta, I might shoot down to Savannah
Whatever I choose to do, I'll be free

I like to ride the lightnin'
They ain't gonna hang me from a tree
'Cause the things I've done ain't hurt no one
The only one that's hurtin' is me

The only one that's hurtin' is me
Oh the things I've done ain't hurt no one
Only one that's hurtin' is me
The only one that's hurtin' is me

I like to ride the lightnin'
They ain't gonna hang me from a tree
'Cause the things I've done ain't hurt no one
The only one that's hurtin' is me

The only one that's hurtin' is me
Oh the things I've done ain't hurt no one
Only one that's hurtin' is me
The only one that's hurtin' is me
