Alright

Hey now won't ya listen

About a tale of a heartbreak queen

The kind of girl that makes Bogie fall

On a late night movie screen

She wraps a look around ya

Turns a wise man to the fool

Lord, save my soul

`Cause I feel like I'm fallin' through

I said yeah, alright

Gimme that ball and chain now

I hear the sound of sweet and rumble

Every time that she walks on by

Your song keeps burnin' in my ears

Makes me wanna crawl deep inside

Sweet jesus, it gives me trouble

Something I don't understand

The girl has got a chain around my heart

Help me, Jesus, to the promise land

Alright, alright

Gimme that ball and chain now

Oh, oh, shine

Oh, oh, oh, fall Angelica, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Before too long I know

You'll be back in my arms before too long

Lord, save me now

(Solo)

Sweet sound of mercy

Such a hard woman to know

Her freedom flies like a golden bird

It's makin' me lose control

All I know is that I love her

Sweet jesus, hear my plea

All I know is that the heartbreak queen

Is taking a piece of me, of me, of me

Alright, alright

Gimme that ball and chain now

Gimme that ball and chain now

Alright

Well, gimme that ball and chain, yeah

Ooh, oh, yeah
