These Walls (Live)

She wakes up in the morning

To a kettle on the stove

Peeling wallpaper

House next to a dusty road

She prays, oh Lord

Don't let these walls fall down

'Cause she's got no money

But she works like hell

She loved him like a lady

Never did her too well

She prays, oh Lord

Don't let these walls fall down

'Cause it's been so damn hard

Since her man left town

Says, I've been thinking

'Bout you, baby

For such a long, long time

She can't help but wonder

On those rainy Saturdays

Where he is and where he's been

Is another trapped in his haze?

She prays, oh Lord

Don't let these walls fall down

'Cause she's not lonely

And she's learned to get along

How many years will it take

Before he is really gone?

She prays, oh Lord

Don't let these walls fall down

'Cause it's been so damn hard

Since her man left town

Says, I've been thinking

'Bout you, baby

For such a long, long time
