Track byEric Church
These four walls of Fort Worth Are closin' in on me My final meter's over An' their 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 judgement day Every life owes a debt That's what the Bible says I owe mine to this state For shootin' that boy to death A liquor store at ten He was reachin' for his gun Well, now his Momma 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 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 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 forgivie me For livin' my life this way Yeah, tonight I ride the lighning To my final restin' place These four walls of Fort Worth Are closin' in on me
