Ball and Chain

Sittin' down by my window

Honey, lookin' out at the rain

Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window

Baby, lookin' out at the rain

Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me

And it felt just like a ball and chain

Honey, that's exactly what it felt like

Honey, just dragging me down

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why

Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on goes wrong?
