Ball 'n' Chain Lyrics

Stephen Fearing Ball 'n' Chain

Anytime you need me near you
Anytime you call my name
If you find me not beside
You’ve only got yourself to blame

It’s the saddest observation
People sleep their lives away
Others walk the halls at night
And time drags like a ball ‘n’ chain

Holly, do you still want me?
Are we still two hot flames?
‘Cause I really can’t tell you
What the future could bring
And I wouldn’t want to
Make believe is everything

So anytime you need me near you
Anytime you call my name
If you find me not beside
You’ve only got yourself to blame

Holly, are you still with me?
Are we still two sharp blades ?
‘Cause I really don’t know what
Runs around in your head
But it doesn’t matter
What you give is what you get

It’s the saddest observation
People sleep their lives away
Others walk the halls at night
And time drags like a ball ‘n’ chain
Time drags like a ball ‘n’ chain
