Discover the story of the song > White Lightning – The Cadillac Three

The protagonist fell in love with a woman who captured his heart very quickly, faster than a lot of fast things like a heat-seeking missile or a fish to bait. He saw her as a powerful force like white lightning and compared her to other fast things he could think of like race cars and famous icons. He compares his love for her to the intoxicating effect of Alabama moonshine and feels that this is what true love is supposed to feel like.
