Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
It started with a woman
And it ended in a bar room fight
The jury would not forgive him
When you take a man
Within an inch of his life
[Verse 3]
When they took away his freedom
Buried his soul inside, no, no
[Verse 4]
In the company of strangers
You fight the enemy within, no
And the walls that capture evil
Keep the faith from gettin' in
In the company of strangers
In the company
[Verse 5]
So he sits behind these grey walls
Starin' at the yellow moon
His dreams lie shattered all around him
Casting shadows into his room, baby
[Verse 6]
When they took away his freedom
They buried his soul inside, no, no
[Verse 7]
In the company of strangers
You fight the enemy within, no
And the walls that capture evil
Keep the faith from gettin' in
In the company of strangers
[Verse 8]
So the years pass by and one day
Steps outside to the blindin' sun
No money in his pockets
And his clothes often been
Under his shirt he wears a gun, no, no
[Verse 9]
When they buried him the very next mornin'
For a murder that went wrong
In a graveyard full of outlaws
And they were strangers, every one
[Verse 10]
In the company of strangers
You fight the enemy within, no, no
And the walls that capture evil
Keep the faith from gettin' in
[Verse 11]
In the company of strangers
You fight the enemy within, right
And the walls that capture evil
Keep the faith from gettin' in
[Verse 12]
In the company, in the company of strangers
Listen, I gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
