Keaton Simons - Lightning Lyrics
These four walls of FarnworthAre closin' in on me My final meal is overThey're gonna to set me freeI can feel the fires burningAs the devil guards my doorI hit my knees in search of JesusOn a cold jailhouse floor Lord now I'm singin'Get me out of here I see the preacher's eyesAs my daughter criesWhen they strap me in this chairLord I hope she forgives me For livin' my life this wayTonight I'll ride the lightningTo my final judgement day Every life owes a deathThat's what the Bible saysI owe mine to this stateFor shootin' that boy to deathA liquor store attendantHe was reachin' for his gunNow 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 eyesAs my daughter criesWhen they strap me in this chairI hope she forgives me For leavin' her this wayTonight I'll ride the lightiningTo 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 floorYeah I'd take it all backBut there's nothin' I can do They've covered my faceAnd the order's gone throughAs the boss yells, Roll on two Now I'm flyin' 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 livin' my life this wayTonight I ride the lightningTo my final resting placeThese four walls of FarnworthAre closin' in on me
