Ball and Chain

from Collecting Anchors by Shannon Murray

/

lyrics

I don’t wanna be your ball and chain/I don’t wanna feel that weight again/no and if I would have known/I would have run like hell/oh well/I’m ruled by emotion and by fear/I may act tough but it’s an awfully thin veneer/I invited you here my dear/I’d run a tight ship but my heart’s a mutineer/I set sail with such certainty and still I end up here/and if I would have known/I would have run like hell/oh well/I could see this coming like remembering a dream/premonition or manifestation they’re all the same to me/oh and if I would have known/I would have run like hell/oh well/I’ve been writing this song since the day we met/it’d be funny if it wasn’t true/I don’t wanna be your ball and chain/I don’t wanna feel that weight again, no/and if I would have known/I would have run like hell/no no no if I would have known/I still would have invited you here my dear.
