Ball And Chain
Social Distortion Well it's been ten years, and a thousand tears A broken nose and a broken heart, An empty bottle of gin And look at the mess I'm inWell I sit and I pray In my broken down ChevroletWhile I'm singin' to myself Take away, take away There's got to be another way Take away this ball and chain I'm lonely and I'm tired Take away, take away Never to return again And I can't take any more pain Take away, take away Take away this ball and chain Well I've searched and I've searched A brand new car and a brand new suit To find the perfect lifeI even got me a little wifeBut wherever I have gone But not go anywhere I was sure to find myself thereYou can run all your life Take away, take away Take away this ball and chain And I can't take any more pain I'm lonely and I'm tired Take away, take away Take away, take away Never to return again Take away this ball and chain To my dingy hotel roomWell I'll pass the bar on the way I spent all my money Been drinkin' since a half past noonI'll wake there in the mornin' Or maybe in the county jailTimes are hard getting harder I'm born to lose and destined to fail Take away this ball and chain Take away, take away I'm lonely and I'm tired And I can't take any more pain Take away, take away Never to return again Take away, take away Take away this ball and chain |
