lyrics

BALL & CHAIN
(Bill Carter - Blame Music BMI)

been in this joint for years, just aint no escape
it rears its ugly head and strikes when i chance
to break
that ball n' chain nothin' but a rattlesnake

thought one day i'd run, lit off down the road
heard that cocked shotgun ready to explode
that ball n' chain crazy as a one-eyed toad

CHORUS:
ball n' chain ball n' chain that ball n' chain everywhere
i go
that ball n' chain in league with the devil for shore

danglin' from a bedsheet, out the window in the dead of night
when i hit the bottom, she there with a butcher knife
that ball n' chain got me fearin' for my life

put poison in her coffee, put poison in her tea
she drank up every last drop, still she wanna fuck with me
that ball n' chain meanest thing i ever did see
