Chains

(Bud Reneau - Hal Bynum)



Bought a ticket to Seattle but I can't get to the plane

Everytime I leave you I keep runnin' out of chain

I hunger for your love it never gives me any slack

But if I ever break away, I'm never comin' back to these.



To these chains, chains, shackles and chains

No matter what it takes some day I'm gonna break these

These chains, chains, shackles and chains

These love takin', heart breakin', cold, hard, lonely makin' chains.



You never try to hold me 'till you see me walkin' out

I guess you'd rather be with me than ever be without

You call me back and kiss me and my heart begins to sink

When I know that all you're doing's taking up another link



These chains, chains, shackles and chains

No matter what it takes some day I'm gonna break these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains

These love takin', heart breakin', cold, hard, lonely makin' chains.



Love was never meant to be a one-way street

I was never meant to be fallin' at your feet

You got me where you want me and I don't know what to do

You don't belong to me but I belong to you in these chains.



These chains, chains, shackles and chains

No matter what it takes some day I'm gonna break these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains

These love takin', heart breakin', cold, hard, lonely makin' chains...
