I mix a drink, a special drink
I call it lightning in a bottle
I fix it up right here in the sink
lightning in a bottle
it's like a love potion,
black as ink,
ligntning in a bottle
some call it wine some call it shine
I call it lightning in a bottle.
It burns your throat
It makes you choke
lightning in a bottle.
My uncle Jack calls it liquid crack.
If you have to ask,
you can't afford it
not my lightning in a bottle.
it'll make you feel
high as a kite
lightnin in a bottle
make your hair grow out
dance all night
give it a try but don't get too high
the hangover makes you feel like you wanna die
It burns your throat
It makes you choke
lightning in a bottle.

I think you covered white lightning quite well. One time at my Smiling Jack department head's house in Huntington where I taught for a year at Marshall University, he offered me a taste of the dog from a bottle of tonic with the name scratched off and written in its place, Wayne County Tonic Water. Wayne County was just north of Hatfield and McCoy territory.
It was clear as glass and was on fire and lightning as it coursed down my throat and dried it to a raw desert parch on the way. And the alky coursed directly to my brain without taking any watered-down sidetracks. A far cry from the shine offered in liquor stores in Mason jars.
