Draggin' Chains

(album: Cross Winds - 1979)

Once I had a dream and my whole life seemed like a vision but it wasn't so
Everyday's a trap and I can't get out of this prison Mr Average Joe
Well I punch the clock and I hate it so go directly to hell don't pass go
It's a crying shame when you go through life dragging chains
Lord dragging chains

Well you can shed a tear the next sound you hear is hope dissolving it's a passing thing
While my payments mount all my charge accounts are still revolving the a American dream
Now you've got your arrangement and I've got mine
Playing follow the leader getting further behind
Well your soul sure pains when you go through life dragging chains
Lord dragging chains

Uh huh huh (uh huh huh)

Lord I tell my lies dressed in my disguise and it's all boring but it's the thing to do
Well I'm tired of trouble make mine a double while you're pouring I think I'll have a few
Now I punch the clock and I hate it so go directly to hell don't pass go
It's a crying shame when you go through live dragging chains
Lord dragging chains

Dragging chainnns dragging chains
(Dragging chainnns dragging chains dragging chains dragging chains)
