These four walls of FarnworthAre closin' in on meMy final meal is overThey're gonna to set me freeI can feel the fires burningAs the devil guards my doorI hit my knees in search of JesusOn a cold jailhouse floorLord now I'm singin'Get me out of hereI see the preacher's eyesAs my daughter criesWhen they strap me in this chairLord I hope she forgives meFor livin' my life this wayTonight I'll ride the lightningTo my final judgement dayEvery life owes a deathThat's what the Bible saysI owe mine to this stateFor shootin' that boy to deathA liquor store attendantHe was reachin' for his gunNow his mama sits there smilin'As the boss yells, Roll on oneAnd now I'm singin'Get me out of hereI see the preacher's eyesAs my daughter criesWhen they strap me in this chairI hope she forgives meFor leavin' her this wayTonight I'll ride the lightiningTo my final resting placeA hungry blue-eyed baby cryin'Made me rob that storeAnd as that boy lay there dyin'I dropped my pistol on the floorYeah I'd take it all backBut there's nothin' I can doThey've covered my faceAnd the order's gone throughAs the boss yells, Roll on twoNow I'm flyin'up and out of hereI close my eyes and slowly riseLet my body leave this chairLord I hope you forgive meFor livin' my life this wayTonight I ride the lightningTo my final resting placeThese four walls of FarnworthAre closin' in on me
