Company of Strangers Lyrics
Made his way out from the low lands
The son of a preacher man
Then he seemed to lose direction
On his way to the promised land, no noIt started with a woman
And it ended in a bottle fight
The jury would not forgive him
When he took a man within an inch of his lifeWhen they took away his freedom
Buried his soul aside, no noIn the company of strangers
You find the enemy within, no
And the walls that capture evil
Keep the faith from getting in
In the company of strangersSo he sits behind these gray walls
Staring at the yellow moon
His dreams lie shattered all around him
Casting shadows into his room, babyWhen they took away his freedom
They buried his soul aside, no noIn the company of strangers
You find the enemy within, no
And the walls that capture evil
Keep the faith from getting in
In the company of strangersSo the years passed by one day
Steps outside to the blinding sun
No money in his pockets, and his clothes out of damn
But under his shirt he wears a gun, no noWhen they buried him the very next morning
For other that went wrong
In a graveyard full of outlaws
In a stranger's everyoneIn the company of strangers
You find the enemy within, no, no
And the walls that capture evil
Keep the faith from getting inIn the company of strangers
You find the enemy within
And the walls that capture evil
Keep the faith from getting inIn the company, in the company of strangers
Listen, I've gotta get out of here,
I've gotta get out of here
