I'm beginning 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 and she passed by
My love for her taking such a long time to die

An' I'm waist deep, in the mist
It's almost like, I don't even exist
I'm twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound
Twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound

My walls of pride are high and wide
You can't see over to the other side
Such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn 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 in cold irons bound
Twenty miles out of town, in 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 the hillside's mud
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood

I found my world, in you
But your love just hasn't proved true
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Well the winds in Chicago they torn me to shreds
Reality has always had too many heads
I tried to love and protect you because I cared
I'm gonna remember forever all the joy that we shared

I'm looking at you and I'm on my bended knee
You have no idea what you do to me
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
