lirik lagu eric church – lightning
these four walls of farnworth
are closin’ in on me
my final meal’s over
they’re gonna set me free
i can feel the fire’s a burnin’
as the devil guards my door
i hit my knees in search of jesus
on a cold jailhouse floor
[chorus:]
lord, now i’m singin’:
“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 livin’ my life this way
tonight i ride the lightning
to my final judgment 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
now his momma sits there smilin’
as the boss yells “roll on one
now i’m singin’
“get me out of here”
i see the preacher’s eyes
as my daughter cries
and they strap me in this chair
i hope she forgives me
for leavin’ her this way
tonight i ride the lightning
to my final restin’ place
a hungry blue eyed baby cryin’
made me rob that store
an’ 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
they’ve covered my face
an’ the order’s gone through
as the boss yells “roll on, two”
now i’m flyin’
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 livin’ my life this way
yeah, tonight i ride the lightning
to my final restin’ place
these four walls of farnworth
are closin’ in on me
