Lyrics Ball and Chain

Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears and look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart an empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray in my broken down Chevrolet
But I'm singin' to myself there's got to be another way
Take away take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away take away never to return again
Take away take away take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I've searched and I've searched to find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But wherever I have gone?
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life but not go anywhere
Take away take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm sick and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away take away never to return again
Take away take away take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'll pass the bar on the way to my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
I've been drinkin' since half past noon
Well I'll wake there in the mornin' or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
Take away take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away take away never to return again
Take away take away take away
Take away this ball and chain
