|
I lost my lucky ball & chain |
|
Now she's four years gone |
|
Just five feet tall and sick of me |
|
And all my rattling on |
|
She threw away her baby-doll |
|
I held on to my pride |
|
But i was young and foolish then |
|
I feel old and foolish now |
|
Confidentially -- |
|
She never called me baby-doll |
|
Confidentially -- |
|
I never had much pride |
|
But now i rock a bar stool |
|
And i drink for two |
|
Just pondering this time bomb in my mind |
|
I lost my lucky ball & chain |
|
Now she's four years gone |
|
Just five feet tall and sick of me |
|
And all my rattling on |
|
She walked away from a happy man |
|
I thought i was so cool |
|
I just stood there whistling |
|
'there goes the bride' as she walked out the door |
|
'there goes the bride' as she walked out the door |
|
I could shake my tiny fist |
|
And swear i wasn't wrong |
|
But what's the sense in arguing |
|
When you're all alone? |
|
Sure as you can't steer a train |
|
You can't change your fate |
|
And when she told me of that day |
|
I knew i'd lost my home |
|
Confidentially -- |
|
I never told you of her charms |
|
Confidentially -- |
|
We never had a home |
|
But this railroad apartment |
|
Was the perfect place |
|
When she'd sit and hold me in her arms |
|
I lost my lucky ball & chain |
|
Now she's four years gone |
|
Just five feet tall and sick of me |
|
And all my rattling on |
|
She walked away from a happy man |
|
I thought i was so cool |
|
I just stood there whistling |
|
'there goes the bride' as she walked out the door |
|
'there goes the bride' as she walked out the door |
|
'there goes the bride' as she walked out the door |
