Lightning These four walls of Farnworth Are closin in on me My final meals over Theyre gonna set me free I can feel the fires a burnin As the devil guards my door I hit my knees in search of Jesus On a cold jailhouse floor [Chorus:] Lord, now Im singin: Get me out of here I see the preachers eyes As my daughter cries When they strap me in this chair Lord, I hope she forgives me For livin my life this way Tonight I ride the lightning To my final judgment day Every life owes a death Thats what the Bible says I owe mine to this state For shootin that boy to death A liquor store attendant He was reachin for his gun Now his Momma sits there smilin As the boss yells Roll on one Now Im singin Get me out of here I see the preachers eyes As my daughter cries And they strap me in this chair I hope she forgives me For leavin her this way Tonight I ride the lightning To my final restin place A hungry blue eyed baby cryin Made me rob that store An as that boy lay there dyin I dropped my pistol on the floor Yeah, Id take it all back but theres nothin I can do Theyve covered my face An the orders gone through As the boss yells Roll on, two Now Im flyin Up an out of here I close my eyes an slowly rise Let my body leave this chair Lord I hope you forgive me For livin my life this way Yeah, tonight I ride the lightning To my final restin place These four walls of Farnworth Are closin in on me
