INTRO:
   X2


              
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
                      A10 
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
          A10                 
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
                  A10
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
          A10                
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 
                A10
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 
       A10               
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
