G C x2

G C
these four walls of farnworth
G C
are closin’ in on me
G C
my final meal’s over
G C
they’re gonna set me free
C G
i can feel the fire’s a burnin’
C G
as the devil guards my door
C Am
i hit my knees in search of jesus
C D G
on a cold jailhouse floor

G C
lord , now i’m singin’
G C
“get me out of here”
C
i see the preacher’s eyes
G
as my daughter cries
Am D
when they strap me in this chair
G C
lord , i hope she forgives me
G C
for livin’ my life this way
G
tonight i ride the lightning
D G C
to my final judgment day

G C
every life owes a death
G C
that’s what the bible says
G C
i owe mine to this state
G C
for shootin’ that boy to death
C G
a liquor store attendant
C G
he was reachin’ for his gun
C Am
now his momma sits there smilin’
C D G
as the boss yells “roll on one

chorus

G C
a hungry blue eyed baby cryin’
G C
made me rob that store
G C
an’ as that boy lay there dyin’
G C
i dropped my pistol on the floor
C
yeah , i’d take it all back
G
but there’s nothin’ i can do
Am
they’ve covered my face
G
an’ the order’s gone through
C D G
as the boss yells “roll on , two”

chorus

G C
these four walls of farnworth
G C
are closin’ in on me
