Ball and Chain

[Intro]

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Whoa-oh-oh (Oh), oh-oh (Oh, oh)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey (Oh)

[Verse 1]

Sittin' here thinkin'

Damn, I'm getting a little older

Tryna find some peace of mind

Take the weight of the world off my shoulder

Mmm, mot me driving down the highway

(Got me driving down the highway)

Tryna make it through each and every day (Every day)

Fade to black, end all poverty

Take a truck and move my people down south with me

[Chorus]

Trade my ball and chain in for a ticket (Oh, oh)

On a one-way trip into Georgia (Yeah)

Big smiles, apple pies

My people, and blue skies

Tomatoes grow where I can pick 'em

On an open highway through Georgia (Open highway through Georgia)

Green grass, tear stains (Well, well, well, well)

Shadow dancing in the pouring rain

[Verse 2]

Sittin' here looking in the mirror

Damn, it's getting a little clearer

If I could paint a perfect picture

Would you dare take it with ya?

(Take it with ya, take it with ya, ow)

Picture us whistling while fishing

Picture us dancing while romancing (While romancing)

To a tune that belongs to me and you

My ball and chain, we will all be free, yeah

[Chorus]

Trade my ball and chain in for a ticket (See, oh)

On a one-way trip into Georgia (See all of my people)

Big smiles (Big smiles), apple pies (Apple pies)

My people, and blue skies (Hey, hey)

Tomatoes grow where I can pick 'em

On an open highway through Georgia (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Green grass, tear stains

Shadow dancing in the pouring rain

[Bridge]

We can be dancing, steady romancing

Whistling while we're steady fishing (Steady fishing)

Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah), oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Trade my ball and chain in for a ticket (See, oh)

On a one-way trip into Georgia (See all of my people)

Big smiles (Big smiles), apple pies (Apple pies)

My people, and blue skies (Well, well)

Tomatoes grow where I can pick 'em

On an open highway through Georgia (Open highway to Georgia)

Green grass, tear stains (Well, well, well, well)

Shadow dancing in the pouring rain

[Outro]

Oh-oh, yeah
