Ball And Chain 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
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 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
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 this ball and chain

Well I`ll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room-
I spent all my money
Been drinkin` since a half past noon-
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
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 this ball and chain
