Ball And Chain Lyrics

ball and chain ball and chain
 
have you ever gotten your butt whipped
did you ever go to prison
have you ever had your pride ripped
just 'cause no one would listen
 
I've paid
for something of which I know nothing
they hate me, they hate me
they hate me even more now,
now that they know I'm right
 
ball and chain ball and chain
 
here I am, you've got a gun
pulled the trigger  killed someone
here I lay, you've made me pay
I'm spitting blood, confessions on my lips like a flood
 
have you ever felt a pain so great
you run to church but it's to late
the doors are locked
you pray before a window
crying out to Jesus
and you're on the floor
and you they ignore
 
ball and chain ball and chain

who's your ball and chain
what's your ball and chain
are you as able to cane
some things do not fane
 
I am laughing in the rain, these people they think that I'm insane
ball and chain, ball and chain
