Im beginnin to hear voices and theres no one around
Im 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, Im waist deep, waist deep in the mist
Its almost like, almost like, I dont exist
Im twenty miles out of town, Cold Irons bound.
Well, the walls of pride are high and wide
Cant see over to the other side
Its such a sad thing to see beauty decay
Its sadder still to feel your heart turn away
One look at you and Im out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
Im twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.
Theres 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 hasnt proved true
Im 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 its you, and you only, Im singin about
But you cant see in and its hard looking out
Im twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.
Well, the fats in the fire and the waters in the tank
Well, the whiskeys in the jar and the moneys in the bank
I tried to love and protect you because I care
Im gonna remember forever the joy weve shared
Looking at you and Im on my bended knee
Youve no idea what you did to me
Im twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound
Twenty miles out of town and Cold Irons bound.
