Good Time Ball and Chain

There my partner goes
Cussing me out over crokinole
Well it was not my game maybe had a little to much to drink
And in the end well no one cares
Take a damn sled down the basement stairs
Put on a record and roll to the sound of the rhythm they make
To the sound of the rhythm they make

Things have changed and dammit they are not the same
But not enough to change my good time ball and chain

I can't complain it's holding me to my veins
I've been down, I've been out, it's coming back again
I've been bound to that good time ball and chain

Oh when duty calls
Take another bottle from off the wall
Head to the barn tonight and pray to god no one falls out
Roxxanne's getting paid, there's a little mama there on the stage
Someone's getting whipped tonight
As she takes off the willing man's belt
As she takes off that willing man's belt

And things have changed and dammit they are not the same
But not enough to change my good time ball and chain

I can't complain it's holding me to my veins
I've been down I've been out it's coming back again
I've been bound to that good time ball and chain

I can't complain it's holding me to the veins
I've been down I've been out it's coming back again
I've been bound to that good time ball and chain

I've been the same since I was given my name
I've been down I've been out it's coming back again
I've been bound to that good time ball and chain

I can't complain it's holding me to my veins
I've been down I've been out it's coming back again
I've been bound to that good time ball and chain
