Social Distortion - Ball & Chain Lyrics
Well it's been ten years, and a thousand tearsAnd look at the mess I'm in-A broken nose and a broken heart,An empty bottle of ginWell I sit and I prayIn my broken down Chevrolet-While I'm singin' to myselfThere's got to be another wayTake away, take awayTake away this ball and chainI'm lonely and I'm tiredAnd I can't take any more painTake away, take awayNever to return againTake away, take awayTake away this ball and chainWell I've searched and I've searchedTo find the perfect life-A brand new car and a brand new suitI even got me a little wife-But wherever I have goneI was sure to find myself there-You can run all your lifeBut not go anywhereTake away, take awayTake away this ball and chainI'm lonely and I'm tiredAnd I can't take any more painTake away, take awayNever to return againTake away, take awayTake away this ball and chainWell I'll pass the bar on the wayTo my dingy hotel room-I spent all my moneyBeen drinkin' since a half past noon-I'll wake there in the mornin'Or maybe in the county jail-Times are hard getting harderI'm born to lose and destined to fail-Take away, take awayTake away this ball and chainI'm lonely and I'm tiredAnd I can't take any more painTake away, take awayNever to return againTake away, take awayTake away this ball and chain
