These four walls of Farnworth Are closin' in on me My final meal's over They're gonna set me free I can feel the fire's a burnin' As the devil guards my door I hit my knees in search of Jesus On a cold jailhouse floor Lord, now I'm singin' \"Get me out of here\" I see the preacher's 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 That's 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 I'm singin' \"Get me out of here\" I see the preacher's 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, I'd take it all back but there's nothin' I can do They've covered my face An' the order's gone through As the boss yells \"Roll on, two\" Now I'm 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
