Concrete And Barbed Wire

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
Concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Well, back in Algiers, my darlin' broke my heart
I can't seem to break down this wall
With two strong hands, he couldn't move it at all
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Well, down in Opelousas, the dogs are at the gates
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
Concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Well, somewhere in Louisiana, my sugar's doin' time
He can't seem to spend time with me
If he could only get over this wall, he would see
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Well, concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
Well, concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
