Concrete and Barbed Wire - Lucinda Williams
This Gwall divides us, on Ctwo different Gsides
But this Cwall is not Greal
How Ccan it be Greal
It's only made of conDcrete and barbed Gwire
Chorus:
ConCcrete and barbed Gwire
ConCcrete and barbed Gwire
It's only made of conDcrete and barbed Gwire
GBack in Algiers my Cdarling broke my Gheart
But he can't seem to break down this Dwall
With Gtwo strong hands he couldn't Cmove it at Gall
And it's only made of conDcrete and barbed Gwire
Chorus:
ConCcrete and barbed Gwire
ConCcrete and barbed Gwire
It's only made of conDcrete and barbed Gwire
GDown in Opelousas Cdogs are at the Ggate
And they're mean lord they're Dmean
There's a Gwall between us, but it's Cnot what it Gseems
It's only made of conDcrete and barbed Gwire
Chorus:
ConCcrete and barbed Gwire
ConCcrete and barbed Gwire
It's only made of conDcrete and barbed Gwire
SomeGwhere in Louisiana,  my Csugar's doing Gtime
But he can't spend time with Dme
If he Gcould get over,  this Cwall he'd sGee
That it's only made of coDncrete and barbed Gwire
Chorus: X 2
ConCcrete and barbed Gwire
ConCcrete and barbed Gwire
It's only made of conDcrete and barbed Gwire
