Four Old Walls Lyrics

There's a shotgun

There's a shotgun over my knee

There's a lucky one

There's a lucky one whose blessing I need

I think I lied to you

No she ain't so lucky

I told her he's safe

But she just can't trust me

These four old walls closing in on me

If they get too close, I just might need

A little gas and a lighter to burn them down

And a fella in blue to escort me to town

I thought I was safe

Thought there was nothing you could do to me

Then I turned you away

And suddenly the blind could see

Now I'm laying in bed

And I'm writing a verse

About killing a man

Putting him in the dirt

These four old walls closing in on me

If they get too close, I just might need

A little gas and a lighter to burn them down

And a fella in blue to escort me to town

I think I lied to you

No she ain't so lucky

I told her he's safe

But she just

just

just can't trust me

These four old walls closing in on me

If they get too close, I just might need

A little gas and a lighter to burn them down

And a fella in blue to escort me to town

These four old walls I'll set ablaze

If they just won't burn, I'll get down and pray

Then I'll beg my God to burn me too

But he'll say no and I'll blame you
