Chains

Oh when I was just a boy
In the town I call my home
I never thought that life could be so cruel
I could never seem to find
What I Thought was peace of mind
It wasn’t long before I broke the rules
Oh my lord, I’m in chains
Well, I found what I’m looking for
Early one night
Working for the man
I was doing all right
Every night I’d steal and I’d borrow
Yes, I did find what I was searching for
But never got much closer
Now I’m standing in the line
Just doing my time
Thinking about my perfect crime
Oh my lord, I’m in chains
And it’s all over now
Oh yeah
I’m in chains, chains, chains
I’m in chains
I was born in the summertime , baby
I’m still waiting for the sun to shine
I’ve been wasting my life
It cuts like a knife
I won’t make the same mistake twice
I can’t seem to find
What I Thought was peace of mind
Standing in the line
Just doing my time
Thinking about my perfect crime
Oh yeah
I’m in chains, chains, chains
I’m in chains, chains, chains
I was standing in the line
Doing all my time
Everybody knows it’s the
Rave about you baby
Half a dozen crazy
Everytime you go it’s a thin thin line
I could never find
What I thought was peace of mind
But I’ve searched this town
For something out there
One of these days I’ll make it I swear
Oh my lord I’m in chains, chains, chains
I’m in chains, chains, chains
Oh my lord I’m in chains, chains, chains
I’m in chains, chains, chains
Come on, pretty baby, won’t you take me home?
Because I’m still in chains and I’m alone
