I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one aroundWell, I'm all used up and the fields have turned brownI went to church on Sunday and she passed byMy love for her is taking such a long time to dieI'm waist deep, waist deep in the mistIt's almost like, almost like I don't existI'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons boundThe walls of pride are high and wideCan't see over to the other sideIt's such a sad thing to see beauty decayIt's sadder still to feel your heart torn awayOne look at you and I'm out of controlLike the universe has swallowed me wholeI'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons boundThere's too many people, too many to recallI thought some of 'em were friends of mine, I was wrong about 'em allWell, the road is rocky and the hillside's mudUp over my head nothing but clouds of bloodI found my world, found my world in youBut your love just hasn't proved trueI'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons boundTwenty miles out of town in cold irons boundOh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shredsReality has always had too many headsSome things last longer than you think they willSome kind of things you can never kill'Cause it's you and you only I been thinking aboutBut you can't see in and it's hard lookin' outI'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons boundWell, the fats in the fire and the water's in the tankWell, the and the money's in the bankI tried to love and protect you because I caredI'm gonna remember forever the joy that we sharedLooking at you and I'm on my bended kneeYou have no idea what you do to meI'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons boundTwenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
