Johnny Cash Rusty Cage Lyrics

Rusty Cage Lyrics




You wired me awake 

And hit me with a hand of broken nails 

You tied my lead and pulled my chain 

To watch my blood begin to boil



But I'm gonna break 

I'm gonna break my 

I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run



Too cold to start a fire 

I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones 

I'll take the river down to still water 

And ride a pack of dogs



I'm gonna break 

I'm gonna break my 

I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run



Hits like a Phillips head Into my brain 

It's gonna be too dark 

To sleep again Cutting my teeth on bars 

And rusty chains, 

I'm gonna break my Rusty cage and run



When the forest burns 

Along the road Like God's eyes In my headlights 

When the dogs are looking 

For their bones 

And it's raining icepicks 

On your steel shore



I'm gonna break 

I'm gonna break my 

I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
