Ball and Chain

Sittin' down by my window
Honey, lookin' out at the rain
Oh, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window
Baby, lookin' out at the rain
Somethin' came along
Grabbed a hold of me, honey
And it felt just like a ball and chain
Honey, that's exactly what it felt like
Honey, just dragging me down

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon'
Tell me why
Why does every single little tiny thing
I hold on to go wrong ?
Yeah it goes wrong, yeah
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa
Now babe, tell me why
Does every thing, every thing
Hey, here you gone today
I wanted to love you
I just wanted to hold you
I said, for so long
Yeah! Alright! Hey!

Love's got a hold on me, baby
Feels like a ball and chain
Now, love's just draggin' me down, baby
Feels like a ball and chain.
I hope there's someone out there
Who could tell me
Why the man I love wanna leave me
In so much pain
Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me
Come on, help me!

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon'
Tell me why
Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me why, yeah

Till the day I die
I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!

Rock and roll the best
Only it ain't roll, no, no, no, no, no

Sittin' down by my window
Lookin' out at the rain

Lookin' out at the rain, see the rain
