Baptism by Fire Lyrics by AC/DC

Rock or Bust

2014

[Intro]
Hey
Ooh

[Verse 1]
Let's get the party started
And, lady, do your tricks, woo, yeah
Let’s get the joint a-jumpin'
The boys need their kicks, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
We're gonna shock the nation
And make 'em flip their lids
You know, you need a vacation
Ooh, bring along a bottle and enjoy the trip

[Pre-Chorus]
I said, ride, ride, ride
Up all night
Ride
It'll blow your mind

[Chorus]
Baptism by fire
Go with them rollin' tires
Baptism by fire
You snap a burnin' wire

[Post-Chorus]
Play your hand
Come on, and make a stand, hey

[Verse 2]
You hear a clap of thunder
Or feel the lightnin' spike (Hey)
You get your pistons firin'
It’s Lady Fortune's night

[Pre-Chorus]
Ride, ride, ride
Up all night
Ride
It'll blow your mind

[Chorus]
Baptism by fire
Now with them rollin' tires
Baptism by fire
You feel the burnin' wire
Baptism by fire
Shootin' high and shootin' higher, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Play your hand
Come on, and play your hand
And let me show you how, yeah
Come on, and make a stand

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
It'll blow your mind

[Chorus]
Baptism by fire
Sweet, sweet desire
Baptism by fire
You got the burnin' wire
Baptism by fire
Shootin' high and shootin' higher, yeah, yeah, yeah
