chains and things

woke up this morning

after another one of those crazy dreams

oh

nothing is going right this morning

the whole world is wrong it seems

oh

i guess it's the chains that bind me

i can't shake it loose

these chains and things

got to work this morning

seems like everything is lost

i got a cold hearted wrong doin' woman

and a slave driving boss

i can't loose these chains that bind me

can't shake them loose

these chains and things

just can't loose these chains and things

oh

you talk about hard luck and trouble

seems to be my middle name

all the odds are against me

yes

i can only play a losin' game

these chains that bind me

can't lose these chains and things

just can't loose these chains and things

oh

i would pack up and leave today people

but i ain't got nowhere to go

ain't got money to buy a ticket

and i don't feel like walkin' anymore

these chains that bind me

oh

i can't lose

i can't lose these chains and things
