Lyrics Ball and Chain - John Parr

Oh I′m man enough, to rescue any agent, face reality
I'm alive for now, a prisoner of devotion, so throw away the key

I wear those chains like precious jewels
′Cause I'm man enough to offer no resistance, be detained by you

No one should be alone in the dark
Lay down your arms, call off the body guard
Don't need no ball and chain, listen baby
I′m never gonna run away
Don′t need no ball and chain, listen baby
I never will be free again

Are you strong enough to take someone who loves you
The way it's meant to be
With no strings attached, willingly surrender, unconditionally
With no regrets, no final flee

Are you strong enough, to finish my conviction, what′s the verdict gonna be
Virtue is hung out to dry, it's up to you ′cause that's my alibi

Don′t need no ball and chain, listen baby
I'm never gonna run away
Don't need no ball and chain, listen baby
I never will be free again

Don′t need no ball and chain, listen baby
I′m never gonna run away
Don't need no ball and chain, listen baby
I never will be free again

No one should be alone in the dark
Lay down your arms, call off the body guard
Don′t need no ball and chain, listen baby
I'm never gonna run away
Don′t need no ball and chain, listen baby
I never will be free again
