Break in the Chain

[Verse 1: Robben Ford]
There's been a break in the chain
A sudden break in the motion
This gambler’s played to no gain
And drops down into the ocean
Stunned by the loss
And weighing the cost

[Verse 2: Robben Ford]
Baby's taken the train
I watched the leaves as they scattered
Left with only a pain
In place of what mattered
All I could not decide
Has been simplified

[Chorus: Robben Ford; Robben Ford and Shemekia Copeland]
If you want me to stay, I will
Tell me stay away, I will
But debts I'll repay
And knots I’ve tied undo

[Verse 3: Shemekia Copeland]
Walk the tracks of my tears
One line after the other
Crossing lonely frontiers
An arrow thru thunder
I will survive my trial
Maybe in awhile

[Chorus: Shemekia Copeland; Shemekia Copeland and Robben Ford ]
You'll ask me to stay, and I will
If you tell me stay away, I will
But debts I'll repay
And knots I've tied undo

[Verse 1: Shemekia Copeland]
Yeah, there's been a break in the chain
A sudden break in the motion
This gambler's played to no gain
And drops down into the ocean
Staggered by the loss
And weighing the cost
