Ball & Chain |
Well, it’s been ten years and a thousand tears |
And look at the mess I’m in |
A broken nose and a broken heart |
An empty bottle of gin |
Well, I sit and I pray |
In my broken down Chevrolet |
While I’m singin' to myself |
There’s got to be another way |
Take away, take away |
Take away this ball and chain |
Well, 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 |
Well, I’ve searched and I searched |
To find a perfect life |
A brand new car and a brand new suit |
I even got me a little wife |
But wherever I have gone |
I was sure to find myself there |
You can run all your life |
But not go anywhere |
Take away, take away |
Take away this ball and chain |
Well, I’m sick 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, take away this ball and chain |
Well, I’ll pass the bar on the way |
To my dingy hotel room |
I spent all my money |
I’ve been drinkin' since a half past noon |
Well, I’ll wake there in the mornin' |
Or maybe in the county jail |
Times are hard gettin' harder |
I’m born to lose and destined to fail |
Take away, take away |
Take away this ball and chain |
well, 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, take away this ball and chain |
