Man,How These Walls Cry

I wrote this about almost 3 years ago,Derek Hines came in and did the rewrite and laid the basic music down, then Caroline came in and smoothed it out for us....THEN

Mike Caro (Substudio) did the full production, live everything, and did the singing on it.....I LOVE THIS SONG....WHAT CAN I SAY...THANKS AGAIN DEREK, AND CAROLINE....BUT MOST OF ALL THANK YOUR MIKE CARO

How These Walls Cry

Through the years I've seen many things
Some I wish i had not seen
I've seen men come and go
Some go home and some go
well, you know.

It's a shame it took this to bring me to my knees

It doesn't matter who you are
the roughest, toughest, meanest of men
With all kinds of tattoos
There will come a day when you'll have to bend

You know when somethings going down
there's any icy wicked chill in the air
and it's thicker than ice
you better think twice
Before you show anyone that your scared

it's seeping through the walls
like fingers reaching out for you
stops you in your tracks
afraid to breathe or even move

No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
but, at night man you should see
How these walls cry.

My Mama revered the Lord
She said, son you'd better be good
Or you'll go straight to hell
well it feels like I am in this cell

Mamma did what she could
But she can't stop these walls from closing in
At times I swear I hear them talking
I pace the floors spend hours walking
At anytime my life could end

When my mamma cried for me
i just laughed right in her face
Now her wisdom I ignored
Has put me in this place

No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
but, at night man you should see
How these walls cry

How these walls cry

(Bridge)
Well, if I could get out for just one day
you know what i'd do
i'd get down on my knees
and kiss that woman's feet
Tell her I was such a fool

I've seen a man kill another man
just for sitting on his bed
Life means nothing behind these bars
just look at someone wrong and your dead

Yeah they act so tough swearing, cussin' and fighting
At night the damned lay still scared by a little thunder and lighting

No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
but, at night man you should see
How these walls cry
How these walls cry
