With Ball and Chain
As the sun begins to fade
theres a lonely heart beating
driving down some lonesome highway
but the tears, they never show
just a smile, while the pain grows
hoping theres happiness a few miles away
hours come and they'll pass on
just like some old sad sad song
it takes a piece of you as it goes
and so another day is here
the Reaper's time is drawing near
and misery will no longer taunt this soul
but the memories remain
held on earth with ball and chain
cursed to live through it all again
and like the soul, it too will try
to reach its home up in the sky
but for the memories, the sorrow never ends
