BALL AND CHAIN

Looking around your home town Trying to find a reason not to leave All of your friends don't understand You find that small town air so hard to breathe Clock keeps ticking You don't need the life you're living Deep in your heart don't you feel like running Over the hills where the real world's going on There's nothing to keep you here So what have you got to fear? You'll never be young again So kick off the ball and chain (get running) Kick off the ball and chain (get running) You work in a job you really hate For a guy who thinks you're just a waste of space You've been telling yourself so long now One day you're gonna put him in his place And wouldn't you love it Telling the boss to shove it Stay where you are you'll amount to nothing It's only a step in your mind and you'll be gone You know that you wanna go Like the wind you've got to blow So don't you hesitate Kick off the ball and chain (get running) Kick off the ball and chain (get running) Get your ticket and board that train And kick off the ball and chain You know you haven't got a thing to lose You don't warm spend your life in a dead man's shoes There's nothing to keep you here So what have you got to fear You'll never be young again Kick off the ball and chain You know that you wanna go Like the wind you've got to blow So don't you hesitate Kick off the ball and chain (get running) Kick off the ball and chain (get running) Get your ticket and board that train And kick off the ball and chain…
