Cold Irons Bound             
             
I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around 
now I'm all used up and I kind of 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/human? 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 
20 miles out of town, Cold Irons bound
