Johnny Cash - 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
