Cold Irons Bound

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

Now I'm all used up and I feel turned around

I went to church on Sunday and she passed by

And my love for her is taking such a long time to die

God I'm waist deep waist deep in the mist

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

I'm 20 miles out of town Cold Irons bound

There's a wall of pride high and wide

Can't see over to the other side

It's such a sad thing to see such beauty decay

It's sadder still to feel your heart torn away

One look at you and I'm out of control

Like the universe has swallowed me whole

I'm 20 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's mud

Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood

I found my own I found my one in you

But your love just hasn't proved true

I'm 20 miles out of town Cold Irons bound

20 miles out of town Cold Irons bound

Well the winds in Chicago have turned 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

It's you and you only I'm thinking about

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

I'm 20 miles out of town Cold Irons bound

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

And the whiskey's in the jar and the money's in the bank

I tried to love and protect you because I cared

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

But looking at you and I'm on my bended knee

You have no idea what you do to me

I'm 20 miles out of town Cold Irons bound
