Beyond These Walls Songtext
von Hoyt Axton

I didn′t sleep too good last night
In this lonely city
Didn't somebody feel it out, beyond these walls?
I could use some mercy
But I don′t want pity
Didn't somebody feel it out, beyond these walls

And the lights at night don't keep the memories
From comin′ through the cell door bars
And I don′t have love, I don't have you
What am I livin′ for?

I had a dream last night
I was somewhere tryin'
To believe in somethin′ out
Beyond the sun

Oh I may be crazy
But it's not from tryin′
To believe in somethin' out
Beyond the sun


And the lights at night don't keep the memories
From comin′ through the cell door bars
And I don′t have love, and I don't have you
What am I livin′ for?

Well I wish I'd never seen me a gun or a bottle
Or a look in the eyes of a woman in love
Oh, I may be a loser
But I′ll go out laughin'
′Bout the fool that I've been out, beyond these walls

And the lights at night don't keep the memories
From comin′ through the cell door bars
And I don′t have love, and I don't have you
What am I livin′ for?

I didn't sleep too good last night
In this lonely city
Didn′t somebody feel it out, beyond these walls?
I could use some mercy
But I don't want pity
Didn′t somebody feel it out, beyond these walls?
Didn't somebody feel it out, beyond these walls?
