Ball and Chain

Paul Overstreet Miscellaneous Ball And Chain (1991) Back when we made our plans to tie the knot My friends they all laughed at me a lot They slapped my back and told me how they thought I was insane They said, "Son you're too young to wear that ball and chain" But love don't feel like a ball and chain to me When I'm close to you me heart feels wild and free If you are my jailer darling through away the key Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Love don't feel like a ball and chain Don't feel like a ball and chain Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Well I still see my single friends from time to time And they ask me how it feels to walk the line Well I tell them it feels better then I ever dreamed it would And I would not trade places with them even if I could No love don't feel like a ball and chain to me When I'm close to you me heart feels wild and free If you are my jailer darling through away the key Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Well if it is a crime for a man to love his wife Then throw that old book at me give me ninety-nine to life And I'll spend every minute, every hour, every day Holding you close I don't want to get away Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me When I'm close to you me heart feels wild and free If you are my jailer darling through away the key Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Love don't feel like a ball and chain Love don't feel like a ball and chain Love don't feel like a ball and chain Love don't feel like a ball and chain
