Billy Droze - Chain Gang Lyrics

VERSE:I got a ball and chain around my leg
I can't run away
Ain't no more ramblin' round
wish I could hop a train
CHORUS:I'm workin' on a chain gang
I gotta get outta here before
I go insane
With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
VERSE:Cold cornbread and water
My rations for the day
That ol' sun keeps gettin' hotter
Just a burning up my brain
CHORUS:I'm workin' on a chain gang
I gotta get outta here before
I go insane
With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
VERSE: I'm countin' down the minutes
Every second of the day
My soul soaked in creosote
Drowning in my veins
CHORUS:I'm workin' on a chain gang
I gotta get outta here before
I go insane
With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
VERSE:There's a court appointed lawyer
Tryin' to make me a deal
While I'm bustin' rocks on a railroad track
Swinging cold hard steel
CHORUS:I'm workin' on a chain gang
I gotta get outta here before
I go insane
With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
Tag:With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
Workin' on a chain gang

VERSE:I got a ball and chain around my leg
I can't run away
Ain't no more ramblin' round
wish I could hop a train
CHORUS:I'm workin' on a chain gang
I gotta get outta here before
I go insane
With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
VERSE:Cold cornbread and water
My rations for the day
That ol' sun keeps gettin' hotter
Just a burning up my brain
CHORUS:I'm workin' on a chain gang
I gotta get outta here before
I go insane
With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
VERSE: I'm countin' down the minutes
Every second of the day
My soul soaked in creosote
Drowning in my veins
CHORUS:I'm workin' on a chain gang
I gotta get outta here before
I go insane
With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
VERSE:There's a court appointed lawyer
Tryin' to make me a deal
While I'm bustin' rocks on a railroad track
Swinging cold hard steel
CHORUS:I'm workin' on a chain gang
I gotta get outta here before
I go insane
With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
Tag:With a number for my name
I'm workin' on a chain gang
Workin' on a chain gang
