Swingin' On My Baby's Chain Lyrics - Singles - Philip Claypool

I remember the phone every evening 

Ringing till it fell off the wall 

Seemed like every single guy in town 

Was looking for a buddy to call 

It was a honky tonk convention 

Sprucing up to get on down 

I thought we had same intention 

But that ain't what I found 

'Cause weekend after weekend, day after day 

My friends call me up and say 

I'm losing my mind, just wasting my life away 

But let me tell you something, I ain't goin' insane 

No, I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain 

I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain 

I remember that crowded bar room 

We saw she was headin' our way 

Just a lady in a room full of roosters 

Crowing out their line of the day 

She didn't hear a word they were saying 

She just walked right into my life 

She took me by the hand like she had it all planned 

And we danced on into the night 

Oh, weekend after weekend, day after day 

Always together, two of a kind 

Just dancing life's heartaches away 

While my friends are growing old and lazy 

You know I ain't feeling no pain 

'Cause I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain 

I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain 

Come on, love's for those who make it 

I'm saying, don't sit around and complain 

'Cause I'm still havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain 

Yeah, I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain
