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
Ball and chain
Ball and chain
I can't give it up
No i can't give it up
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
Ball and chain
Ball and chain
I can't give it up
No i can't give it up
One of these days I'm going to get out alive
One of these days I'm going to get out alive
I dream of leaving, of freewheeling
Free from the shackles of the ball and chain
Pray don't kill me, just fulfill me
Dangerous games with the ball and chain
Ball and chain
Ball and chain
I can't give it up
No i can't give it up
Ball and chain
Ball and chain
I can't give it up
No i can't give it up
