Breakaway (From Those Chains) |
My aunt Jessie was cruel |
Lord, she made me go to school |
All the time |
It was killing me |
It was a crime |
Cause I could not be free |
From the confines |
Of those chains |
Oh the river was deep |
But the water looked sweet |
Oh my, my, my |
I jumped right in |
You know I tried |
But I could not swim |
Thru the darkness or the pain |
Never thought I’d breakaway from those chains |
Never thought Id' breakaway from those chains |
Never thought Id' breakaway from those chains |
Never thought Id' breakaway from those chains |
(short SLIDE SOLO) |
So I headed for the hills |
Let the danger break my will |
Oh my, my |
In a landslide |
I was losing ground |
And there was no one but myself to blame |
Never thought I’d breakaway from those chains |
Never thought I’d breakaway from those chains |
Never thought I’d breakaway from those chains |
Noo, no, no, I’d breakaway from those chains |
(SLIDE SOLO) |
Breakaway from those chains |
Breakaway from those chains |
Breakaway from those chains |
Breakaway from those chains |
Breakaway from those chains |
Breakaway from those chains |
