| Looking around your home town
|
| Trying to find a reason not to leave
|
| All of your friends don’t understand
|
| You find that small town air so hard to breathe
|
| Clock keeps ticking
|
| You don’t need the life your living
|
| Deep in your heart don’t you feel like running
|
| Over the hills where the real worlds going on
|
| There’s nothing to keep you here
|
| So what have you got to fear?
|
| You’ll never be young again
|
| So kick off the ball and chain (get running)
|
| Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
|
| You work in a job you really hate
|
| For a guy who thinks you’re just a waste of space
|
| You’ve been telling yourself so long now
|
| One day you’re gonna put him in his place
|
| And wouldn’t you love it
|
| Telling the boss to shove it
|
| Stay where you are you’ll amount to nothing
|
| It’s only a step in your mind and you’ll be gone
|
| You know that you wanna go
|
| Like the wind you’ve got to blow
|
| So don’t you hesitate
|
| Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
|
| Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
|
| Get you ticket and board that train
|
| And kick off the ball and chain
|
| You know you haven’t got a thing to lose
|
| You don’t wanna spend your life in a dead man’s shoes
|
| There’s nothing to keep you here
|
| So what have you got to fear
|
| You’ll never be young again
|
| Kick off the ball and chain
|
| You know that you wanna go
|
| Like the wind you’ve got to blow
|
| So don’t you hesitate
|
| Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
|
| Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
|
| Get your ticket and board that train
|
| And kick off the ball and chain |
