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
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.
