Walls of Jericho Adrieenne Young Lookin? much older With dust on your shoulder Well you crashed in this mornin? Wearin? only your pride Highways and freight trains Drivers with no names Well you played such a god game it was easy to ride With a Poor Man?s scheme and Rich Man?s dream You ran for your life Over El Rio into Laredo it was do or die The stars hung bright on the other side Well I offered a cold beer And I said you could stay here I swallowed my own fear 'cause I knew what was right We spoke in a language that was Here before Cambridge Colored bright terracotta and aquamarine With a Poor Boy?s Dream and a Rich man?s scheme You sacrificed the warmth of your wife?s hand Your children and homeland for a roll lof dice A bitter slice of American Pie Mighty walls of Jericho Toppled by the sound of tiny feet Trumpets sound and we will know Just who?s sitting in the driver?s seat Oh these walls are comin? down Getting back to the ground And there?ll be victory In the sound of their defeat Well you slept when the dawn came So I undid the latch chain I walked Down to the riverbank and thought about life Just when did this happen Was it always the fashion Playin? just to win disregarding the price Such a Rich Man?s scheme using Poor Boy?s dreams To fight the fight How far will we go pretending we don?t know what is wrong or right The stars hang bright on the other side Mighty walls of Jericho Toppled by the sound of tiny feet Trumpets sound and we will know Just who?s sitting in the driver?s seat Oh these walls are comin? down Getting back to the ground And there?ll be victory In the sound of their defeat
