Artist: The Nightwatchman
Song: The Iron Wheel ft. Shooter Jennings
Album: The Fabled City
Capo 2
x2
Sometimes I tell you to just sit still
When you know that it's time to run
Sometimes I tell you it's all over
When you're sure that it's just begun
Chorus:
The iron wheel slowly spins around
It takes you from the cradle 'til you're six feet underground
You push and pull against it but you'll ride it 'til it's through
And those who spin the wheel well those fuckers ride it too
Sometimes I tell you to move along
When you're sure you should stand and fight
Sometimes I tell you that you're a lucky man
But the numbers they don't add up right
Chorus
The good wife rides the wheel as the years just slip away
T.V. preacher rides the wheel as he leads the flock astray
Lady Justice rides the wheel but her balance is unsure
Cause the truth it lies in pieces scattered on the newsroom floor
Sometimes I tell you to just let go
When you're sure you should hold on tight
Sometimes I tell you you're time will never come
When you're sure that your time's come tonight
Chorus
