I'm be ginning to hear voices and there's no one around
now I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
and my love for her is taking such a long time to die
Lord I'm w aist deep w aist deep in the m ist
It's almost l ike almost like I d on't exist
I'm 2 0 miles out of t own Cold Irons b ound
The wa lls 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 torn away
One look a t you and I 'm out of control
Like the univ erse has s wallowed me whole
I'm t wenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
There' s too many people, too many to recall
I thought some of 'm were friends of mine, I was wrong about 'm all
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
I found my world, fou nd my world in you
But your love just hasn 't proved true
I'm t wenty miles out of t own in cold irons b ound
Twent y miles out of to wn in cold irons bo und
Oh, th e winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
Reality has always had too many heads
Some things last longer than you think they will
There are some kind of things you can never kill
It's you a nd you only I been thinking a bout
But you can't see in an d it's ha rd lookin' out
I'm t wenty miles out of town in cold irons b ound
Well t he fat's in the fire and the water's in the tank
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 that we shared
Looking at you and I' m on my bended kne e
You have no i dea what y ou do to me
I'm t wenty miles out of t own in cold irons bound
Twent y miles out of t own in cold irons bound
