The Compounds - Johnny Lightning Lyrics

3 in the morning in dark of the night
There's a young man looking for a fight
He's got petrol money and a need for speed
Driving too fast to the hotrod meet

The big block Chevy is running hot
He's gonna give it everything he's got

He is
Johnny Lightning!
They want to be like
Johnny Lightning!
Nobody goes like
Johnny Lightning!

Johnny Lightning!
They want to be like
Johnny Lightning!
Nobody goes like
Johnny Lightning!

Johnny Lightning

Raging motors and a need for speed
Johnny's in front he's got the lead
Second place treading on his heels
With big fat damping racing wheels

Five more blocks and he'll be the best
Finish in sight coming up real fast
What's that sound? It's a big ol crash
Nothing left but some burning ash
The big block Chevy is running hot
He gave his life, he gave all he's got

He was
Johnny Lightning!
Don't want to be like
Johnny Lightning!
No more!
Johnny Lightning!

Johnny Lightning!
Don't want to be like
Johnny Lightning!
No more!
Johnny Lightning!

He was Johnny Lightning!

Johnny Lightning!
