Ball And Chain lyrics

Sitting down by my window

Honey, looking out at the rain

Sitting down by my window, looking out at the rain

All around that I felt it

All I can see was the rain

Something grabbed a hold of me

Feel to me, oh, like a ball and chain

Hey, you know what I mean that's exactly what it felt like

But that's way too heavy for you, you can't hold them all

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, oh, that cannot be

Just because I got oh, your love, please

Why does every

Oh, this can't be just because I got to need you, daddy

Please don't you knock it down now, please

Here you've gone today

What I wanted to love you and I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die

Yes, I did, yes, I did, yeah, hey, hey, alright

Say, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey

This can't…
