G
Some people go for gold,
A
then lose sight of their shine
G
And the sparkle that once was,
A
gets tarnished in mind
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 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')

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 that 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:
      G
Many miles I've roamed wheels
 A
turnin' on that one lane
 G                        A
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'

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 - x2

(Lightnin')
