Ball And Chain

Ball and Chain - Dale Watson

She thinks her home is like a prison

And can almost see her walls closing in

And every day she feels has been wasted

All the things in life that might have been

Just a girl young and dreaming

Until I came along

Now years passed and two kids later

She still blames me her dreams are gone

Cause I'm a man that loves that woman

Who hates the very dark of me

And I've become someone unwanted

And always haunting ball and chain

It's been said by friends and poets

That if I loved her but they mean

Really loved her I'd set her free

But I know the day that

I'll want to stop my living

Would be the day she spreads her wings

Cause I'm the man that loves that woman

Who hates the very air I breathe

And I've become someone unwanted

And always haunting ball and chain

Always haunting ball and chain
