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 |
|
Twenty miles out of town, 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. |
