About

Off Social Distortion’s 1990 self-titled LP, “Ball and Chain” is a classic down-on-your-luck tale, with the narrator seemingly having fucked up royally and regained himself, only to fuck up royally somehow again.

It’s an agonizing song, but it’s one that is very popular, and has been a staple in So...

Ball and Chain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singing to myself
There's got to be another way

[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain

[Verse 2]
Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
I've been drinking since half past noon
Well I'll wake there in the morning
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail

[Chorus]

[Sexy Outro Solo]
