These Walls

She wakes up in the morning To a kettle on the stove Peeling wallpaper House next to a dusty road She prays, "Oh Lord Don't let these walls fall down" 'Cause she's got no money But she works like hell She loved him like a lady Never did her too well She prays, "Oh Lord Don't let these walls fall down" 'Cause it's been so damn hard Since her man left town Says, "I've been thinking I've been thinking I've been thinking 'bout you, baby For such a long, long time" And she can't help but wonder On those rainy Saturdays Where he is and where he's been Is another trapped in his haze? She prays, "Oh Lord Don't let these walls fall down" 'Cause she's not lonely And she's learned to get along How many years will it take Before he is really gone? She prays, "Oh Lord Don't let these walls fall down" 'Cause it's been so damn hard Since her man left town Says, "I've been thinking I've been thinking I've been thinking 'bout you, baby For such a long, long time" Says, "I've been thinking I've been thinking I've been thinking 'bout you, baby For such a long, long time" Says, "I've been thinking I've been thinking I've been thinking 'bout you, baby For such a long, long time"
