take you back (the iron hoof cattle call)

hear them riding

baby

hear them coming around my door

light's been out

though

baby

and i've been long

long gone

i'm keen to play with fire

but now i'm not so sure

racing down the road that i've been before

i've seen rattlesnakes behind every door

i've been around this world and now everything's a bore

i don't know that much

but i know about keeping score

and if there's one thing i know for sure

it'd be a long cold day in hell when i take you back

can you hear the horses

baby?

stronger than an iron hoof

but this town has always bored me

and baby

that's including you

racing down the road that i've been before

i've seen rattlesnakes behind every door

i've been around this world and it's rotten to the core

yeah

i don't know that much

but i know about keeping score

i got a face of gold

i got a heart of coal

but baby

that's my cross to bear

i won't take you back

i won't take you back

i won't take you back

i won't take you back

i won't take you back

i won't take you back

i won't take you back
