Cast Iron Shoes

Time escapes me, I never have enough
The days a disappointment before it's begun
My mind is swirling, I'm caught in the race
Panic sets in, again I'm late
I'm a fucked up, frail, failed fool
Walking though the mud wearing Cast Iron Shoes

I'll tell you of a deal i made in the war
I tried to trick the devil now I'm losing my soul
I try to drive fast, I try to stay mean
I try to keep my man happy doing everything he needs
I try to keep my head up, keep my cool
Walking through the mud wearing Cast Iron Shoes

I tried to be the real deal
Tried to go real hard
But I had grown men choke me and climb into my yard
Toss me around, spit in my face
Slander my name all over the place
I'm running round in circles
Chasing these blues
Walking through the mud wearing Cast Iron Shoes

They threw me in the lake, singing sink or swim
They threw me in the lake, singing sink or swim
They threw me in the lake, singing sink or swim

I'm a fucked up, frail, failed fool
Walking through the mud wearing Cast Iron Shoes
