These four walls of farnworth
Are closin' in on me
My final meal is over
They're 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
Lord i am singin'
Get me out of here
I see the preacher's eyes as my daughter cries
When they strap me in this chair
I hope she forgvies me
For leavin' her this way
Tonight i'll ride the lightning to my final judgement 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 mama sits there smilin'
As the boss yells roll on one
And 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
I hope she forgives me
For leavin' her this way
Tonight i'll ride the lightning to my final resting place
A hungry blue-eyed baby cryin' made me rob that store
And as that boy laid there dyin'
I dropped my pistol on the floor
Yeah i'd take i
