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
While I'm singing to myself there's got to be another way
Take away, take away, take away this ball and chain
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 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
[Chorus]
Well I'll pass the bar on the way to my dingy hotel room
I spent all money been drinking since half past noon
I'll wake there in the morning or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder; I'm born to lose and destined to fail
[Chorus]
