Jackson Cage Lyrics & Chords By John Wesley Harding

LyricsView Chords

Springsteen

Driving home she grabs something to eat
Turns a corner and drives down her street
Into a row of houses she melts away
Like the scenery in another man's play.

To a house where the blinds are closed
To keep from seeing things she don't wanna know
She pulls the blinds, she looks out on the street
The cool of the night takes the edge off the heat.

In the Jackson Cage
Down in the Jackson Cage
You can try with all your might
But you're reminded every night
That you've been judged and handed life
Down in the Jackson Cage.

Every day ends in wasted motion
Crossed swords on the killing floor
To settle back is to settle without knowing
The hard edge that you're settling for.

'Cause there's always just one more day
And it always will be that way
Girl, you've been down here so long
I could tell by the way that you move you belong ..

To the Jackson Cage
Down in the Jackson Cage
And it don't matter just what you say
Are you tough enough to play the game they play?
Will you just do your time and fade away
Down in the Jackson Cage ?
Down in the Jackson Cage.

It's nights when I dream of a better world
But I wake up so downhearted, girl
I see you feeling so tired and confused
I wonder what it's worth to me or you.

Just waiting to see some sun
Never knowing if that day will come
Left alone standing out on the street
Till you become the hand that turns the key ..

To the Jackson Cage
Down in the Jackson Cage
Well, darling, can you understand
The way that they will turn a man
Into a stranger to waste away
Down in the Jackson Cage ?
