Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's getting nearer, I can feel her
All my love for the ball and chain
I feel no better but I let her
Lick my wounds and soothe my pain
[Verse 2]
Ball and chain, ball and chain
I can't give it up
No, I can't give it up
[Verse 3]
I'm in prison, bored and poisoned
Spend all my money on the ball and chain
She's my weakness, it's no secret
I'm just a slave to the ball and chain
[Verse 4]
Ball and chain, ball and chain
I can't give it up
No, I can't give it up
[Verse 5]
One of these days I'm gonna get out alive
One of these days I'm gonna get out alive
[Verse 6]
I dream of leavin', of freewheelin'
Free from the shackles of the ball and chain
Pray don't kill me, just fulfill me
Dangerous games with the ball and chain
[Verse 7]
Ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain
I can't give it up
No, I can't give it up
[Verse 8]
Oh, ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain, ball and chain
