Lyrics

Chains And Things
I woke up this morning
After another one of those crazy dreams
Oh, nothing is going right this morning
The whole world’s got it wrong it seems
I guess it's the chain that binds me
I can't shake it loose, these chains and things
Got to work this morning
Seems like everything is lost
I got a gold digging, heartbreaking woman
I got a slave-driving boss
Can't loosen these chains that bind me
Can't shake them loose, these chains and things, hmm yea
Can't loosen up, these chains and things
Well, you talk about hard luck and trouble
That’s my middle name
All the odds are against me
And I can only play a losing game
Must be these chains that bind me
Can’t shake them loose, these chains and things, mmh yea
You know I just can't loosen up all these chains and things
All these chains and things
Well, I would pack up and leave today, people
But I got nowhere to go
I got no money for no ticket
And I don't feel like walking anymore
Must be these chains that bind me
I can't seem lose, these chains and things
You know I try and I try and I try but I can’t seem
To break free from these chains and things
