I nearly made it all the way to work this morning
Then I changed my mind
There's an empty feeling in my soul that's crying
From a life of marking time
I don't know if it's too late to find success
Or if my life could take the change
But I'm not getting any younger
And I'm feeling the weight of my chains
My women waits at home for me
Inside the safety of an aging dream
And she goes on believing in some promises
She ain't never seen
And it would break her heart if she knew
How my thoughts are tortured by the strain
God knows I love her but I'm feelin' the weight of my chains
I'm not looking for that pot of gold
Beyond some faded rainbow in the sky
I'm just trying hard to feed a hungry dream
That's tryin' hard to stay alive
But sometimes I feel like giving up
When all my efforts seem in vain
I know I'll keep on trying
But I'm feeling the weight of my chains
I know I'll keep on trying
But I'm feeling the weight of my chains
