Ball And Chain Lyrics by Tommy James

Tommy James

0

I went down to the valley
Just to find out who I am, Lord
Down home in the valley
I've got to get myself back together again, now
I looked all around me
When everything was still the same
But, people, you can't climb that mountain
Carrying a ball and chain, no
Because it takes all the love that your give
To get to the other side
It makes all the life that you can live
So satisfied, yeah, so satisfied
Come, come, comin' together
That's the only way we can go
Children, you better t
Turn around, take a look where you been before, now
Come, come come on people
Don't you know that we're all the same?
No, we ain't gonna climb that mountain
Carrying a ball and chain
'Cause it takes all the love that your give
To get to the other side
It makes all the life that you can live
So satisfied, yeah, so satisfied
Takes all the love that your give
To get to the other side
Makes all the life that you can live
So satisfied, yeah, so satisfied
