Album: Sex, Love and Rock ’n’ Roll

Well its 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
Well I'm singing to myself, There's got to be another way
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely, and I'm tired
And I cant take anymore pain
Take away, take away
Have to return again
Take away, take away
Take away, Take away 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
Well I'm sick, and I'm tired
And I cant take anymore pain
Take away, take away
Have to return again
Take away, take away
Take away,Take away this ball and chain
Well i passed the bar on the way, to my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money, I've been drinking since a half past noon
well I'll wake there in the morning, or maybe in the county jail
times are hard getting harder, I'm going to lose and destined to fail
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely, and I'm tired
And I cant take anymore pain
Take away, take away
Have to return again
Take away, take away
Take away,Take away this ball and chain
