Lightning |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
