OUTSIDE THE WIRE

OUTSIDE THE WIRE

VERSE-

WELL THE FIRST THING THAT YOU NOTICE IS THE SWEET SMELL

THE SECOND THING YOU NOTICE IS THE HEAT

THE THIRD THING THAT YOU NOTICE IS THE WATER

THE FOURTH THING THAT YOU NOTICE IS HOW THE WATER ROTS YOUR FEET

VERSE-

THEN YOU STEP OFF OF THAT CHOPPER AND THE NOISE TURNS YOU AROUND

AND YOUR LT CALMLY WHISPERS SON JUST GET UP OFF THE GROUND

YOU CAN NOT SLEEP YOU BARELY EAT THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU TRUST

BUT A VOICE ON UP THE LINE IT SAYS PRESS ON YES WE MUST

CHORUS-

HERE I AM AGAIN LIVIN' OUTSIDE THE WIRE

DO I DIG MYSELF A HOLE, AM I COMING UNDER FIRE

CAN IT BE I’M SEEING THINGS OR JUST BECAUSE I’M TIRED

HERE I AM AGAIN LIVIN' OUTSIDE THE WIRE

BRIDGE-

AS TIME ROLLS BY WOULD YOU EVER GO THAT WAY AGAIN

KNEE DEEP IN THE MUD TO BACK UP YOUR BEST FRIEND

VERSE-

THEN YOU ARE BACK HOME AGAIN YOU DON’T HAVE MUCH TO SAY

WHEN THE BOSS COMES UP TO TELL YOU YOU’VE GOT SIXTEEN HOURS TODAY

AS YOU MOW YOUR LAWN A FEELING STRIKES AND YOU START TO FEEL UNKIND

YOU START TO LOOK AROUND YOU AND YOU’RE SCANNING THAT TREE LINE

CHORUS-

HERE I AM AGAIN LIVIN' OUTSIDE THE WIRE

DO I DIG MYSELF A HOLE, AM I COMING UNDER FIRE

CAN IT BE I’M SEEING THINGS OR JUST BECAUSE I’M TIRED

HERE I AM AGAIN LIVIN' OUTSIDE THE WIRE

HERE I AM AGAIN LIVIN' OUTSIDE THE WIRE

HERE I AM AGAIN LIVIN' OUTSIDE THE WIRE
