Ball and Chain - Kevin Fowler

Well, it started 'bout a month ago when I was in the can

For firin' off my .44 at another man

Ain’t been too good at bustin' rock or workin' chain gang

Never could see me draggin' that ol' ball and chain

Ball and chain, it’s bringin' me down again

Gotta keep runnin' gotta do my own thing

I could never drag a ball and chain

Well, you always kept sayin' how you think that I should stay

And we could get started on our own family

Come along tomorrow I’ll be on the mornin' train

Gonna boogie back to Texas couldn’t drag your ball and chain

Ball and chain, it’s bringin' me down again

Gotta keep runnin' gotta do my own thing

I could never drag a ball and chain

I used to wake up every mornin' and I’d do the rat race

Suit and tie, nine to five wouldn’t my place

Didn’t take too long for me to understand

I could never be a blue collar workin' class man

Ball and chain, it’s bringin' me down again

Gotta keep runnin' gotta do my own thing

I could never drag a ball and chain

Ball and chain, it’s bringin' me down again

Gotta keep runnin' gotta do my own thing

I could never drag a ball and chain
