Cold Irons Bound (Live at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, 2004) Lyrics

I'm beginning to hear voices, there's no one around
I'm all used up and I feel so turned-around
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist
It's almost like I don't even exist
I'm 20 miles out of town in the cold irons bound
20 miles out of town in the cold irons bound

Walls of pride, a high and wide
You 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 at you and I'm out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
I'm 20 miles out of town in the cold irons bound
20 miles out of town in the cold irons bound

You know there's too many people, too many to recall
I thought some of them were friends of mine
I was wrong about them all
The road is rocky and the hillside's mud
Up over my head, nothing but clouds of blood
I found my one in you
But your love just hasn't proved true
I'm 20 miles out of town in the cold irons bound
20 miles out of town in the cold irons bound

You know the winds in Chicago have turned me to shreds
Reality has always had too many heads
I tried to love and protect you because I cared
I'm gon' remember forever the joy we've shared
I'm looking at you and I'm on my bended knee
You have no idea what you do to me
I'm 20 miles out of town in the cold irons bound
20 miles out of town in the cold irons bound
