Ball And Chain

In the style of

Social Distortion

Lyrics

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
take away this
ball and chain

well i've searched
and i've searched
to find the
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
getting 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
