Rusty Cage Lyrics - Johnny Cash

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 

gonna break my rusty cage and run. 

I'm gonna break 

I'm gonna break my 

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 

gonna break my rusty cage and run. 

I'm gonna break 

I'm gonna break my 

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.
