Company of Strangers - Bad Company

Made his way out from the low lands

The son of a preacher man

Then he seemed to lose direction

On his way to the promised land, no no

It started with a woman

And it ended in a bottle fight

The jury would not forgive him

When he took a man within an inch of his life

When they took away his freedom

Buried his soul aside, no no

In the company of strangers

You find the enemy within, no

And the walls that capture evil

Keep the faith from getting in

In the company of strangers

So he sits behind these gray walls

Staring at the yellow moon

His dreams lie shattered all around him

Casting shadows into his room, baby

When they took away his freedom

They buried his soul aside, no no

In the company of strangers

You find the enemy within, no

And the walls that capture evil

Keep the faith from getting in

In the company of strangers

So the years passed by one day

Steps outside to the blinding sun

No money in his pockets, and his clothes ???

But under his shirt he wears a gun, no no

When they buried him the very next morning

???

that went wrong

In a graveyard full of outlaws

In a stranger’s ???

In the company of strangers

You find the enemy within, no no

And the walls that capture evil

Keep the faith from getting in

In the company of strangers

You find the enemy within

And the walls that capture evil

Keep the faith from getting in

In the company, in the company of strangers

Listen, I’ve gotta get out of here, I’ve gotta get out of here…
