I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain 3

“Son,” his daddy told him, “Make this run your last
The tank is filled with 100 proof, you’re all tuned up and gassed
Now don’t take any chances, if you can’t get through
I’d rather have you back again than all that Mountain Dew”

And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil’s thirst
The law, they swore they’d get him, but the devil got him first

51 phantom, a booleggin’ man
Known from the hills to the bottomland

Late in the evening, ‘bout this time of night
51 phantom gets to feelin’ right

Memphis to New Orleans the 51 I ride
White lightnin’ flash across the Mississippi sky

Up in Memphis the music’s like a heat wave
White Lightnin’ bound to drive you wild
Mama’s baby’s in the heart of every school girl
“Love Me Tender” leaves ‘em cryin’ in the aisle
