Barricades Lyrics - Honky Tonk - Son Volt

The waves came down but the world never wanted 

Hearts press on anyway and until 

Where there's smoke there's fire, faith has charm 

But faith can destroy 

By and by all the threads are sown 

Dark clouds make their presence known 

Stand by the fire and just hope that it doesn't burn out 

[Chorus] 

When the world is not what it seems 

On the outside looking in on a dream 

Don't let the barricades of life keep the wild spirit still 

When the world around caves in 

Lights will shine, let your life begins 

Don't let the barricades of life keep the wild spirit still 

No matter what you set out to find 

This competition down the line 

The crime of one might be the salt of the earth tonight 

Makes no difference what others say and do 

The path goes on showing the way for you 

The sign says redemption ahead 

Move straight on through 

[Chorus]
