Lyrics Ball and Chain - David Ramírez

Ball and Chain

Be careful with your hobbies
They may define you someday
Hold on to some of your stories
Save just a few from the soundwaves
God bless the man behind the microphone
God damn that silver ball and chain
And what does it mean. mean to be honest?
When the audience decides what you mean
Some do it for fame, some do it for glory
Well some days I miss playing the streets
God bless the man behind the microphone
God damn that silver ball and chain
And if you couldn’t get anyone to listen
Would you finish what you began? ‘
Cause I refuse to be letters on a marquee
Refuse to be buried on that bandstand
God bless the man behind the microphone
God damn that silver ball and chain
