Ball And Chain

(앨범: One For The Road - 1997)

Well, it started 'bout a month ago when I was in the can
For firing off my .44 at another man
Ain't been too good at busting rock or working chain gang
Never could see me dragging that ol' ball and chain

Ball and chain, it's bringing me down again
Gotta keep running gotta do my own thing
I could never drag a ball and chain

Well, you always kept saying how you think that I should stay
And we could get started on our own family
Come along tomorrow I'll be on the morning train
Gonna boogie back to Texas couldn't drag your ball and chain

Ball and chain, it's bringing me down again
Gotta keep running gotta do my own thing
I could never drag a ball and chain

I used to wake up every morning and I'd do the rat race
Suit and tie, nine to five wouldn't my place
Didn't take too long for me to understand
I could never be a blue collar working class man

Ball and chain, it's bringing me down again
Gotta keep running gotta do my own thing
I could never drag a ball and chain

Ball and chain, it's bringing me down again
Gotta keep running gotta do my own thing
I could never drag a ball and chain
