Ball And Chain

If I had my way
I would not be here
Not for one day
My leaving is clear

I've had my share of heartache and pain
For happiness I'm searching in vain
I've got to get rid of my ball and chain

For all of my life
The times they've been bad
And hard luck and strife
They're all that I've ever had

I've had my share of heartache and pain
For happiness I'm searching in vain oh yeah
I've got to get rid of my ball and chain

I've just gotta be free

God in heaven
Help me

If I had my way
I would not would not be here
No not for one day
My leaving
My leaving is clear

I've had my share of heartache and pain
For happiness I'm searching in vain
I've got to get rid of my ball and chain
Help me

I've had my share of heartache and pain
For happiness I'm searching in vain
I've got to get rid of my ball and chain
