never tie me down

i got a load of bad stuff

laying heavy on my mind

i got a smile that sometimes

i find so hard to find

i got trouble

chasing me every day

too scared to look out

see what the bad sings say

well you can beat up on my busted soul

leave it bleeding on the ground

but oh lord you ain't ever gonna tie me down

i got the devil

he follows me around

he keep coming

chasing me from town to town

i got a two ton bag of lead

slammin' down on me

well

peace and love

oh baby that ain't never coming near me

beat my soul

leave it bleeding chained and bound

but let me tell you

you ain't never gonna chain me down

oh lord

never tie me down

you better look out

cos i'm always gonna be around

i'll tell you why

i'll tell you why

why why

oh lord

you ain't never gonna chain me down
