[Verse 1]
These four walls of Farnsworth
Are closing' in on me
My final meal's over
They're going to set me free
I can feel the fire's a burning'
As the devil guards my door
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
On a cold jailhouse floor
[Chorus]
Lord, now I'm singing':
"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 living' my life this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final judgment day
[Verse 2]
Every life owes a debt
That's what the Bible says
I owe mine to this state
For shooting' that boy to death
A liquor store attendant
He was reaching' for his gun
Now his Momma sits there smiling'
As the boss yells "Roll on one
[Chorus]
Lord, now I'm singing':
"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 living' my life this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final judgment day
[Verse 3]
A hungry blue eyed baby crying'
Made me rob that store
An' as that boy lay there dying'
I dropped my pistol on the floor
Yeah, I'd take it all back but there's nothing' I can do
They've covered my face
An' the order's gone through
As the boss yells "Roll on, two"
Now I'm flying'
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 living' my life this way
Yeah, tonight I ride the lightning
To my final resting' place
These four walls of Farnworth
Are closing' in on me
These four walls of Farnsworth
Are closing' in on me
My final meal's over
They're going to set me free
I can feel the fire's a burning'
As the devil guards my door
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
On a cold jailhouse floor
[Chorus]
Lord, now I'm singing':
"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 living' my life this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final judgment day
[Verse 2]
Every life owes a debt
That's what the Bible says
I owe mine to this state
For shooting' that boy to death
