Ball and Chain

Ball and chain, that old familiar
Ball and chain, done got me blue
Ball and chain, I can't get rid ya
Pray all night but I'm stuck here with you

When we first met I was over the moon
Now every word you speak, fills my heart with gloom
Can't do nothing right, nights are filled with fights
I try to get away but it's refused

But the Ball and chain, that old familiar
Ball and chain, done got me blue
Ball and chain, I can't get rid ya
Pray all night but I'm stuck here with you

Went searching for the key to this immortal lock
Preacher must have lost it like the cash in the box
My soul you stole from me, on that we can agree
I'm dreaming every night of different roads.

But the Ball and chain, that old familiar
Ball and chain, done got me blue
Ball and chain, I can't get rid ya
Pray all night but I'm stuck here with you

Someone did you wrong in a previous life
I tried to make you happy, even made you life
The heart I once knew, faded into blue
Wanted to make it right, but I gave up the fight
Wonder who's to blame, don't wanna even say your name
Why am I around, if it only brings you down
My mere existence, puts you in defense
I sacrificed myself, descended into hell
But that heart's so cold in hell it wouldn't change

But the Ball and chain, that old familiar
Ball and chain, done got me blue
Ball and chain, I can't get rid ya
Pray all night but I'm stuck here with you
Pray all night but I'm stuck here with you
Pray all night that I won't wake up to you
