    Verse 1
    These 
    four 
    walls 
    of 
    Farnworth 

    Are 
    closin' 
    in 
    on 
    me 

    My

    As 
    the 
    devil 
    guards 
    my 
    door 

    hit 
    my 
    knees 
    in 
    search 
    of 
    Jesus 

    On

    jailhouse 
    floor 

    Chorus 1

    I'm

    "Get 
    me 
    out 
    of 
    here" 

    see 
    the 
    preacher's 
    eyes 

    As 
    my 
    daughter 
    cries 

    When 
    they 
    strap 
    me 
    in 
    this 
    chair 

    Lord, 
    hope 
    she

    For 
    livin' 
    my 
    life 
    this 
    way 

    To
    night 
    ride 
    the 
    lightning 

    To 
    my 
    final 
    judgment 
    day 

    Verse 2
    Every 
    life 
    owes 
    death 

    That's 
    what 
    the 
    Bible 
    says 

    owe 
    mine 
    to 
    this

    death 

    liquor 
    store 
    at
    tendant 

    He 
    was 
    reachin' 
    for 
    his 
    gun 

    Now 
    his 
    Momma 
    sits 
    there 
    smilin' 

    As 
    the 
    boss 
    yells 
    "Roll 
    on, 
    one" 

    Chorus 2
    Now 
    I'm 
    singin' 

    "Get 
    me 
    out 
    of 
    here" 

    see 
    the 
    preacher's 
    eyes 

    As 
    my 
    daughter 
    cries 

    And 
    they 
    strap 
    me 
    in 
    this 
    chair 

    Lord, 
    hope 
    she 
    for
    gives 
    me 

    For 
    leavin' 
    her 
    this

    place 

    Bridge 1
    hungry 
    blue 
    eyed 
    baby 
    cryin' 

    Made 
    me 
    rob 
    that 
    store 

    An' 
    as 
    that 
    boy 
    lay 
    there 
    dyin' 

    dropped 
    my 
    pistol 
    on 
    the 
    floor 

    Yeah, 
    I'd 
    take 
    it 
    all 
    back 

    but 
    there's 
    nothin' 
    can 
    do 

    They've 
    covered 
    my 
    face 

    An' 
    the 
    order's 
    gone 
    through 

    As 
    the 
    boss 
    yells 
    "Roll 
    on, 
    two" 

    Verse 3
    Now 
    I'm 
    flyin' 

    Up 
    an' 
    out 
    of 
    here 

    close 
    my 
    eyes 
    an' 
    slowly 
    rise 

    Let 
    my 
    body 
    leave

    chair 

    Lord, 
    hope 
    you

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
