Текст Eric Church – Lightning

These four walls of Farnworth
Are closin’ in on me
My final meal’s over
They’re gonna set me free

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 judgment day

Every life owes a death
That’s what the Bible says
I owe mine to this state
For shootin’ that boy to death
A liquor store attendant
He was reachin’ for his gun
Now his Momma sits there smilin’
As the boss yells «Roll on one

Now I’m singin’
«Get me out of here»
I see the preacher’s eyes
As my daughter cries

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 forgive me
For livin’ my life this way
Yeah, tonight I ride the lightning
To my final restin’ place

These four walls of Farnworth
Are closin’ in on me
