Lightning

These four walls of Farnworth
 Are closin' in on me
 My final meal is over
 They're gonna to set me free
 I can feel the fires burning
 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'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 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 lightining
 To my final resting place
 A hungry blue-eyed baby cryin'
 Made me rob that store
 And 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
 And the order's gone through
 As the boss yells, Roll on two
 Now I'm flyin'
 up and out of here
 I close my eyes and slowly rise
 Let my body leave this chair
 Lord I hope you forgive me
 For livin' my life this way
 Tonight I ride the lightning
 To my final resting place
 These four walls of Farnworth
 Are closin' in on me
