Lightning Lyrics - Sinners Like Me - Eric Church

These four walls of Fort Worth 

Are closin' in on me 

My final meter's over 

An' they're 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 jail house floor 

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 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 bar shifts 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 leavin' her 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 bar shifts 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 Fort Worth 

Are closin' in on me
