Company of Strangers

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 no
 It 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 life
 When they took away his freedom
 Buried his soul aside, no no
 In 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 strangers
 So he sits behind these gray walls
 Staring at the yellow moon
 His dreams lie shattered all around him
 Casting shadows into his room, baby
 When they took away his freedom
 They buried his soul aside, no no
 In 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 strangers
 So the years passed by one day
 Steps outside to the blinding sun
 No money in his pockets, and his clothes?
 But under his shirt he wears a gun, no no
 When they buried him the very next morning
 ? That went wrong
 In a graveyard full of outlaws
 In a stranger's?
 In the company of strangers
 You find the enemy within, no no
 And the walls that capture evil
 Keep the faith from getting in
 In the company of strangers
 You find the enemy within
 And the walls that capture evil
 Keep the faith from getting in
 In the company, in the company of strangers
 Listen, I've gotta get out of here, I've gotta get out of here...
