Lyrics
How was I to know
That my soul belonged to you
Ball and chain
Ball and chain
For the rest of my life I'm your prisoner
Might as well be ball and chain
Like a beast who can't be tamed
Or a ticket with no claim
Just to know the pain
To know the pain
Meet me in the heather
Over by the crag
Ball and chain
Ball and chain
To the rose and the thorn I must raise my glass
In a toast to be the first
It's a blessing and a curse
Will I write my second verse
Before my heart bursts
Before my heart bursts
My ball and chain
Ball and chain
When will you ease my pain
Maybe in the spring
My ball and chain
Ball and chain
I'll never be the same
Can your kisses take away the stain
Insane, too much pain
Feels like a ball and chain
Like a beast who can't be tamed
Or a ticket with no claim
Raised glass to be the first
It's a blessing and a curse
Will I write my second verse
Before my heart bursts
Insane, too much pain
Feels like a ball and chain
Like a beast who can't be tamed
Or a ticket with no claim
Slave to your rhythms and all of your whims
And then here I go again
Oh Lord
Take away the stain
It don't mean a thing
Meet me in the spring
I wear this pain like a ball and chain
It don't mean a thing
Meet me in the spring
I wear this pain like a ball and chain
Just like a ball and chain
Meet me in the spring
I wear this pain just like a ball and chain
I'm a prisoner in cell block Y-O-U
I might as well just put my numbers in my stripes on
'Cause I'll be here with you 'til all that what the hype is gone
Locked up, knocked up, strapped up, marked up
Locked down, baby, tied up
I'm convicted, baby, in your penitentiary
Shackles on my legs, babe
And my sentence first degree
Locked down, oh, tied up, shackled up
Excuse me if I just go insane
Take away the stain
