Upchurch White Lightning
[Intro]
Some people go for gold, then lose sight of their shine
And the sparkle that once was, gets tarnished in mind
They forget what they was after they fell off the track
And their vision that was vivid gets lost in pitch black
Age starts to take place like a bomb that keeps tickin'
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 Lightnin'
(Chasin' white lightnin', chasing white lightnin')
[Verse 1]
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 walked the roads from stop sign to street name
No yellow marks on these back roads, so I paint the lines and pave my way
And these framed pics on my wall from 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
[Chorus]
Many miles I've roamed wheels turnin' on that one lane
Last years boots, broken soles chasin' one thing
Caught up in the storm of life it gets me excited
I guess you could say, I guess you could say that I'm
Chasin' white lightnin', chasin' white lightnin'
I'm chasin' white lightnin', I'm chasin' white lightnin'
[Verse 2]
Let the rain come down 'til I can't hear myself think (Self think)
Let the rain come down and drown the radio out in this little S-10
I wanna go back sometimes just sittin' at Sonic doing nothin'
Chillin' with all my friends on the tailgate rollin' up and jammin' somethin'
Yeah a young gun I was one of those puttin' Jack D in my Dr. Pepper
Had stickers all on my back glass of my truck it made that shit look better
Just a poor boy dreamin' 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
[Chorus]
Many miles I've roamed wheels turnin' on that one lane
Last years boots, broken soles chasin' one thing
Caught up in the storm of life it gets me excited
I guess you could say, I guess you could say that I'm
Chasin' white lightnin', chasin' white lightnin'
I'm chasin' white lightnin', I'm chasin' white lightnin'
Many miles I've roamed wheels turnin' on that one lane
Last years boots, broken soles chasin' one thing
Caught up in the storm of life it gets me excited
I guess you could say, I guess you could say that I'm
Chasin' white lightnin', chasin' white lightnin'
I'm chasin' white lightnin', I'm chasin' white lightnin'
[Outro]
(Lightnin')
(Lightnin')
(White lightnin')
