Ball and Chain [Live] Lyrics

Sitting down by my window
Honey, looking out at the rain
Sitting down by my window,
All around I felt it
All I can see was the rain
Something grabbed a hold of me
Felt to me, honey, like a ball and chain, yeah
Hey, you know what I mean
When it's way too heavy for you, you can't hold it no more

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, oh, honey, this can't be
Just because I got to want your love, please, please, please, please
Why, please, please
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, this can't be just because I got to need you, daddy
Please don't you knock me down now, please
Here you've gone today
What I wanted to love you and I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die
Yes, I did, yes, I did, yeah, hey, hey, alright

Say, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey
This can't be not anything I've ever wanted from you daddy tell me now
Oh, tell me, baby, yeah
Oh, say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey
This can't be, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I hope there's someone out there who could tell me
Tell me why just because I got to want your love
Honey, just because I got to need, need, need, need your love
I said I understand
Honey, what I'm wanna trying to say hi
Trying, try, try, try, try, try, try
Honey, when everybody in the world, wants the same damn thing
When everybody in the world what needs, seem lonely
When I want work for your love, daddy
When I want try for your love, daddy
I don't understand, how come, you're gone
I don't understand why half the world is still crying, man
When the other half of the world is still crying too, man
I can't get it together
I mean if you got a cat for one day, man
I mean, say maybe you want a cat for three hundred and sixty five days, right
You ain't got three hundred and sixty five days, you got him for one day, man
I tell you, that one day, man, better be your life
Because you know, you can say oh man, you can cry about the other three hundred and sixty four, man, but you're gonna lose that one day, man
And that's all you've got,
You've gotta call that love, man
That's what it is, man
If you got a today, you don't worry about tomorrow, man
Because you don't need it
Because as a matter of the fact, as we discovered on the train, tomorrow never happens, man
It's all the same fucking day, man

So you gotta when you want to hold somebody
You gotta hold them like it's the last minute of your life
You gotta hold, hold, hold, hold it 'cause someday someone gonna come on your shoulders, babe
It's gonna feel too heavy, it's gonna weigh on you,
It's gonna feel just like a ball
Oh, daddy!
And a chain.
