[Eb] [Bb]
These four [Eb] walls of Farnworth are [Bb] closing in on [Eb]
me
My [Bb] final meal [Eb] is over and [Bb]
they're gonna set [Eb] me free
I can feel the fires [Bb]
burning as [Eb] the devil guards my [Bb] door
I hit [Eb] my knees in search of Jesus on a cold [F] [Bb] jailhouse floor
Lord, now I'm singing, [Eb]
get me out [Bb] of here [F]
[Eb] I see the preacher's eyes as my [Bb] daughter cries
When they [Cm] strap me in this [F] chair Lord, I hope she [Bb] forgives me for [Eb] [Bb] living my
life this way [Eb]
Tonight [Bb] I ride the lightning to my [F] final
judgment [Bb] day [Eb]
[Bb] Every life [Eb] owes a debt, [Bb]
that's what the Bible
[Eb] says [Bb] I owe [Eb] mine to this state for [Bb] shooting that
boy [Eb] to death A liquor store [Bb] attendant, he was [Eb] reaching
for [Bb] his gun Now [Eb] his mama sits [Gm] there [Cm] smiling [Eb] as the ball
sheds [F] Roll [Bb] on, on
[Eb] And now [Bb] I'm singing, [F] [Eb] get me out of [Bb] here [F] [Eb]

life this way [Eb] [Bb]
Tonight I ride the lightning to my [F] final
rest [Eb] day A [Dm] hungry blue-eyed [Eb] baby crying made me [Bb]
rob
that store
[Dm] And as that boy [Eb] lay there dying I dropped
[Bb] my pistol on the floor Yeah, [Eb] I take it all back, but there's nothing
[Bb] I can do They've [Cm] covered my face and [Gm] the order's gone
[Bb] through As [Eb] the ball sheds roll on through
Now [Bb] I'm flying
[Eb] up a [Bb] knife
[Eb] I [Bb] close my eyes and slowly rise
[Eb] Let my body leave this [F] chair Lord, I hope [Bb] you forgive me
[Eb] [Bb] for living my life
this way [Eb]
Yeah, [Bb] tonight I'll ride the lightning to my
[F] final
[Bb]
rest day These four walls [Eb] have fallen, [Bb]
closing in on [Eb] me
