IRON JOHN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

there once was a man the name of Iron John
he once was alive but he's been and gone
but he left us a legend that we still can tell
he was a man been through heaven and hell

you know the world goes round and nothing's the same
one day a hero and the next take the blame
you take all the blame and try to understand
if the sun is coming up and a man's still a man

a vow is made between a man and wife
a promise to keep for the rest of your life
you try to do right and you try to be strong
take the good with the bad and the right with the wrong

Iron John did his time on the earth
to the day of his death from the moment of birth
he tried to be honest and he tried not to lie
from the day he could talk to the day that he died

a man is taught to keep it under control
give nothing away and stay true to your soul
give your heart to a woman and then set her free
to be everything that she was meant to be

you know the world goes round and nothing's the same
one day a hero and the next take the blame
you take all the blame and try to understand
if the sun is coming up and a man's still a man
