Concrete and Barbed Wire

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
But he can't seem to break down this wall
Back in Algiers, my darling broke my heart
Concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire

Down in Opelousas, dogs are at the gate

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire

There's a wall between us, but it's not what it seems
And they're mean, Lord they're mean
That it's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Somewhere in Louisiana, my sugar's doing time

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
If he could get over this wall he'd see

Concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
With two strong hands he couldn't move it at all
And it's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
How can it be real
Concrete and barbed wire
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

But he can't spend time with me
