[00:03.48]Lightning
[00:03.67].
[00:03.98]
[00:32.31]These four walls of Farnworth
[00:34.99]
[00:37.68]Are closin' in on me
[00:39.17]
[00:42.54]My final meal's over
[00:44.60]
[00:47.79]They're gonna set me free
[00:49.97]
[00:51.86]I can feel the fire's a burnin'
[00:54.98]
[00:56.99]As the devil guards my door
[01:00.17]
[01:01.75]I hit my knees in search of Jesus
[01:06.11]
[01:07.67]On a cold jailhouse floor
[01:10.73].
[01:11.48]
[01:14.16]Lord, now I'm singin':
[01:15.91]
[01:19.65]"Get me out of here"
[01:21.21]
[01:25.64]I see the preacher's eyes
[01:26.76]
[01:27.88]As my daughter cries
[01:29.63]
[01:30.69]When they strap me in this chair
[01:33.75]
[01:34.69]Lord, I hope she forgives me
[01:37.24]
[01:41.65]For livin' my life this way
[01:43.89]
[01:47.57]Tonight I ride the lightning
[01:50.32]
[01:51.62]To my final judgment day
[01:54.86]
[01:55.42].
[01:56.92]
[02:01.41]Every life owes a death
[02:03.35]
[02:05.91]That's what the Bible says
[02:07.97]
[02:11.15]I owe mine to this state
[02:14.45]
[02:15.63]For shootin' that boy to death
[02:18.68]
[02:22.18]A liquor store attendant
[02:23.86]
[02:25.42]He was reachin' for his gun
[02:28.98]
[02:30.63]Now his Momma sits there smilin'
[02:34.44]
[02:36.26]As the boss yells "Roll on one
[02:39.26].
[02:39.88]
[02:43.47]And now I'm singin'
[02:45.28]
[02:48.41]"Get me out of here"
[02:49.72]
[02:54.15]I see the preacher's eyes
[02:55.65]
[02:56.71]As my daughter cries
[02:58.27]
[02:59.51]And they strap me in this chair
[03:02.95]
[03:03.64]I hope she forgives me
[03:05.88]
[03:09.81]For leavin' her this way
[03:12.18]
[03:15.62]Tonight I ride the lightning
[03:18.80]
[03:20.43]To my final restin' place
[03:25.36].
[03:26.06]
[03:27.12]A hungry blue eyed baby cryin'
[03:29.62]
[03:30.80]Made me rob that store
[03:32.42]
[03:37.23]An' as that boy lay there dyin'
[03:40.22]
[03:41.10]I dropped my pistol on the floor
[03:43.66]
[03:46.21]Yeah, I'd take it all back but there's nothin' I can do
[03:50.39]
[03:51.63]They've covered my face
[03:53.19]
[03:54.44]An' the order's gone through
[03:55.81]
[03:57.58]As the boss yells "Roll on, two"
[04:00.20].
[04:00.57]
[04:04.35]Now I'm flyin'
[04:05.73]
[04:09.22]Up an' out of here
[04:10.84]
[04:15.62]I close my eyes an' slowly rise
[04:19.06]
[04:21.05]Let my body leave this chair
[04:23.42]
[04:24.59]Lord I hope you forgive me
[04:27.09]
[04:30.77]For livin' my life this way
[04:33.14]
[04:36.63]Yeah, tonight I ride the lightning
[04:39.75]
[04:41.13]To my final restin' place
[04:45.87].
[04:46.99]
[04:50.41]These four walls of Farnworth
[04:52.97]
[04:55.97]Are closin' in on me
