[Verse 1]
The first thing that you notice in the morning
Is that there's not a cloud in the sky
And, Lord, you can't help, you can't help
But remember your woman
Oh, how she cried all night
How much longer can this go on?
You pushed me past the point of bein' strong
[Verse 2]
I got to get away, oh, yeah
From these chains
I got to get away, yeah
Away from these chains
[Verse 3]
Standin' over your love is a driver
You know he'll be there every morning
Crackin' a whip, crackin' a whip in his hand
And my back, my back is bent
From dawn until sunset
[Verse 4]
I don't know how much more of this
More of this I can stand
Lord, every day somebody new
Holdin' me down
Brothers and sisters
What is this Hell on Earth I have found?
[Verse 5]
I got to get away
Got to get away
From these chains
I got to get away, yeah
Away from these chains
[Verse 6]
Chains
Oh, these chains, yeah
Oh, Lord, these chains, yeah
Oh, these chains, yeah
Oh, Lord, these chains, yeah
