No offense to Johnny Cash, but I took Rusty Cage from the group that pulled it off, Soundgarden.

Soundgarden’s “Rusty Cage” was just one of many great songs from this band. I may have been in high school during the 80s, but I call the 90s my music. I love the bands that came from that time, the music, the grunge scene,..everything. I was in my 20s, near the tail end of college, living in the city, single and the music seemed to fit who I was at the time. Chris Cornell’s voice was something I always envied, but his way of vocally doing things can kill a singer unless they know what they are doing.

Lyrics:

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 t boil

But I’m gonna break

I’m gonna break my

I’m 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

I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run

Hits like a Phillips head

Into my brain

It’s gonna be too dark

To sleep again

Cutting my teeth on bars

And rusty chains, I’m 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

I’m gonna break

I’m gonna break my

I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run
