Concrete And Barbed Wire Lyrics - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams

This wall divides us, we're on two different sides 

But this wall is not real, how can it be real? 

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire 

[Chorus] 

Concrete and barbed wire, concrete and barbed wire 

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire 

Back in Algiers, my darling broke my heart 

But he can't seem to break down this wall 

With two strong hands he couldn't move it at all 

And it's only made of concrete and barbed wire

[Chorus] 

Down in Opelousas, dogs are at the gate, 

And they're mean, lord, they're mean 

There's a wall between us, but it's not what it seems 

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire 

[Chorus]

Somewhere in Louisiana my sugar's doing time 

But he can't spend time with me 

If he could get over this wall he'd see 

That it's only made of concrete and barbed wire 

[Chorus: x2]
