[Chorus]
Well I'm sleeping on cold steel tonight
Rattling 48 takin’ me far away
Well I'm sleeping on cold steel tonight
Rattling 48 takin' me far away

[Verse 1]
It’s been a long and lonesome road
I'm so far from my own home
I just don't care where I lay tonight
This jug of wine keeps me warm inside
Hope it'll last for the rest of the ride
On this dark cold stormy night

[Pre-Chorus]
Just dreaming of clear sky sunny days
Of the simple life nothing getting in the way
I long for her sweet touch so much
Won't a gal take away my lonesome pain?

[Chorus]
Cause I'm sleeping on cold steel tonight
Rattling 48 takin' me far away
I'm sleeping on cold steel tonight
Rattling 48 takin’ me far away
[Verse 2]
Ramblin’ round from town to town
Never knowing where I'm bound
Oh Lord I can’t wait to settle down
I'll get this bag off of my back
I'll get myself off of this track
I'll build a little farm, fuck yeah a little shack

[Pre-Chorus]
Just dreaming of clear sky sunny days
Of the simple life nothing getting in the way
I long for her sweet touch so much
Won’t a gal take away my lonesome pain?

[Chorus]
Cause I'm sleeping on cold steel tonight
Rattling 48 takin' me far away
I'm sleeping on cold steel tonight
That rattling 48 takin' me far away
