Cold Irons Bound lyrics

I'm beginnin' to hear voices and there's no one around

I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown

I went to church on Sunday as she passed by

And my love for her has taken such a long time to die

Well, I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist

It's almost like, almost like, I don't exist

I'm twenty miles out of town, Cold Irons bound.

Well, the walls of pride are high and wide

Can't see over to the other side

It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay

It's sadder still to feel your heart turn away

One look at you and I'm out of control

Like the universe has swallowed me whole

I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.

There's too many people, too many to recall

I thought some of 'em were friends of mine,

I was wrong about 'em all

Well, the road is rocky and the hillside mud

Up over my head, nothing but clouds of blood

I found my world, found my world in you

But your love just hasn't proved true

I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound

I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound

Well the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds

Reality has always had too many heads

Some things last longer than you think they will

Some kind of things you can never kill

Though it's you, and you only, I'm singin' about

But you can't see in and it's hard looking out

I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.

Well, the fat's in the fire and the water's in the tank

Well, the whiskey's in the jar and the money's in the bank

I tried to love and protect you because I care

I'm gonna remember forever the joy we've shared

Looking at you and I'm on my bended knee

You've no idea what you did to me

I'm twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound

Twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound
