Ball & Chain Lyrics - Badlands - Badlands

Alright 

Hey now won't ya listen 

About a tale of a heartbreak queen 

The kind of girl that makes Bogie fall 

On a late night movie screen 

She wraps a look around ya 

Turns a wise man to the fool 

Lord, save my soul 

`Cause I feel like I'm fallin' through 

I said yeah, alright 

Gimme that ball and chain now 

I hear the sound of sweet and rumble 

Every time that she walks on by 

Your song keeps burnin' in my ears 

Makes me wanna crawl deep inside 

Sweet jesus, it gives me trouble 

Something I don't understand 

The girl has got a chain around my heart 

Help me, Jesus, to the promise land 

Alright, alright 

Gimme that ball and chain now 

Oh, oh, shine 

Oh, oh, oh, fall Angelica, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

Before too long I know 

You'll be back in my arms before too long 

Lord, save me now 

(Solo) 

Sweet sound of mercy 

Such a hard woman to know 

Her freedom flies like a golden bird 

It's makin' me lose control 

All I know is that I love her 

Sweet jesus, hear my plea 

All I know is that the heartbreak queen 

Is taking a piece of me, of me, of me 

Alright, alright 

Gimme that ball and chain now 

Gimme that ball and chain now 

Alright 

Well, gimme that ball and chain, yeah 

Ooh, oh, yeah
