[00:43.20]Well it's been ten years
[00:44.919]and a thousand tears
[00:46.821]And look at the mess I'm in
[00:50.471]A broken nose and a broken heart
[00:54.48]An empty bottle of gin
[00:56.936]Well I sit and I pray
[01:00.733]In my broken down chevrolet
[01:04.334]While I'm singing to myself
[01:07.976]There's got to be another way
[01:11.177]Take away,take away
[01:14.929]Take away this ball and chain
[01:18.231]Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
[01:22.238]And I can't take any more pain
[01:25.280]Take away,take away
[01:29.281]Never to return again
[01:32.521]Take away,take away
[01:36.71]Take away
[01:44.121]Take away this ball and chain
[02:00.476]Well I've searched and I've searched
[02:03.996]To find the perfect life
[02:07.787]A brand new car and a brand new suit
[02:11.66]I even got me a little wife
[02:14.479]But wherever I have gone
[02:17.924]I was sure to find myself there
[02:21.549]You can run all your life
[02:25.120]But not go anywhere
[02:28.443]Take away,take away
[02:32.343]Take away this ball and chain
[02:35.544]Well I'm sick and I'm tired
[02:39.523]And I can't take any more pain
[02:42.573]Take away,take away
[02:46.629]Never to return again
[02:49.931]Take away,take away
[02:53.382]Take away
[03:01.434]Take away this ball and chain
[03:46.109]Well I'll pass the bar on the way
[03:49.510]To my dingy hotel room
[03:53.333]I spent all my money
[03:56.502]I've been drinking since half past noon
[04:00.125]Well I'll wake there in the morning
[04:03.725]Or maybe in the county jail
[04:07.175]Times are hard getting harder
[04:10.537]I'm born to lose and destined to fail
[04:14.66]Take away,take away
[04:17.866]Take away this ball and chain
[04:21.418]Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
[04:24.953]And I can't take any more pain
[04:28.355]Take away,take away
[04:32.106]Never to return again
[04:35.237]Take away,take away
[04:39.40]Take away
[04:47.92]Take away this ball and chain
