Breakaway From Those Chains lyrics

(GUITAR INTRO)



my aunt Jessie was cruel



Lord, she made me go to school



all the time



it was killing me



it was a crime



cause I could not be free



from the confines



of those chains







oh the river was deep



but the water looked sweet



oh my, my, my



I jumped right in



you know I tried



but I could not swim



thru the darkness or the pain







never thought I`d breakaway from those chains



never thought Id` breakaway from those chains



never thought Id` breakaway from those chains



never thought Id` breakaway from those chains



(short SLIDE SOLO)







so I headed for the hills



let the danger break my will



oh my, my



in a landslide



I was losing ground



and there was no one but myself to blame







never thought I`d breakaway from those chains



never thought I`d breakaway from those chains



never thought I`d breakaway from those chains



noo, no, no, I`d breakaway from those chains



(SLIDE SOLO)







breakaway from those chains



breakaway from those chains



breakaway from those chains



breakaway from those chains



breakaway from those chains



breakaway from those chains
