Ball And Chain-Social Distortion
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 singing 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 take way 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 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 drinking since a half past noon

I'll wake there in the morning

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 take away this ball and chain
