Paul Overstreet Ball & Chain
Back when we made our plans to tie the knot
My friends, they all laughed at me a lot
Slapped my back and told me how they thought I was insane
They said, son you're too young to wear that ball and chain
But love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
When I'm close to you, my heart feels wild and free
If you are my jailer, darlin' throw away the key
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
Love don't feel like a ball and chain
It don't feel like a ball and chain
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
I still see my single friends from time to time
And they ask me how it feels to walk the line
Well, I tell them it feels better than I ever dreamed it would
I wouldn't trade places with them even if I could
But love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
When I'm close to you my heart feels wild and free
If you are my jailer darlin' throw away the key
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
Well, if it is a crime for a man to love his wife
Throw that old book at me, give me 99 to life
I'll spend every minute, every hour, every day
Holding you close, I don't want to get away
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
When I'm close to you my heart feels wild and free
If you are my jailer darlin' throw away the key
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
