These four walls of Farnworth
Are closing in on me
My final meal's over
They're gonna 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 judgement day

Every life owes a death
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"

And now I'm singing
"Get me out of here"
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
And they strap me in this chair
Lord, I hope she forgives me
For leaving her this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final resting place

A hungry blue eyed baby crying
Made me rob that store
And 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
And the order's gone through
As the boss yells "Roll on, two"

Now I'm flying
Up and out of here
I close my eyes and 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
