Draggin’ Chains Lyrics by Conway Twitty

Cross Winds

0

Once I had a dream and my whole life seemed like a vision
But it wasn't so
Everyday's a trap and I can't get out of this prison
Mr Average Joe

Well I punch the clock and I hate it so
Go directly to hell don't pass go
It's a cryin' shame when you go through life draggin' chains
Lord draggin' chains

Well you can shed a tear the next sound you hear is hope
Dissolving it's a passing thing
While my payments mount
All my charge accounts are still revolving the American dream

Now you've got your arrangement and I've got mine
Playin' follow the leader gеttin' further behind
Well your soul surе pains when you go through life draggin' chains
Lord draggin' chains

Uh huh huh (uh huh huh)

Lord I tell my lies dressed in my disguise
And it's all boring but it's the thing to do
Well I'm tired of trouble make mine a double
While you're pouring I think I'll have a few

Now I punch the clock and I hate it so
Go directly to hell don't pass go
It's a cryin' shame when you go through live draggin' chains
Lord draggin' chains

Draggin' chainnns draggin' chains
(Draggin' chainnns draggin' chains draggin' chains draggin' chains)
