lyrics

Lightning Strikes

I met the devil in a grocery-mart
He was stacking up souls in a shopping cart
He did not look like Vincent Price
He didn’t walk as tall or dress as nice
I asked him for his autograph
He just looked at me and started to laugh

I said what’s so funny somethin’ I don’t know
He grinned at me and said real low
Guys like you aint got it through their head
Rock n roll is all but dead
If I can’t rock n roll this town
I hope that lightning strikes me down

Let it rock
Let it roll
Let it rock
Let it roll
If I can’t rock n roll this town
I hope that lightning strikes me down

Said to the devil I would love to debate
But man, I got a gig and I can’t be late
I got people downtown depending on me
Rock n roll is the door and I got the key
If I can’t rock n roll this town
I hope that lightning strikes me down

Said to the devil, man I can’t lose
‘Cause I was born to rock the blues
You can try and pull the plug on me
But man, look around and you will see
I done rock n rolled this town
I aint never going to settle down

If I can’t rock n roll this town
I hope that lightning strike me down
Strike me dead if I ever settle down
