Paul Overstreet - Ball and Chain lyrics

Back when we made our plans to tie the knot My friends, they all laughed at me a lot They slapped my back and told me how they thought I was insane They said, "Son, you're too young to wear that ball and chain?" But love don't feel like a ball and chain to me When I'm close to you, my heart feels wild and free If you are my jailer, darling, throw away the key Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Love don't feel like a ball and chain It don't feel like a ball and chain Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Well, I still see my single friends from time to time And they ask me how it feels to walk the line Well, I tell them it feels better then I ever dreamed it would And I would not trade places with them even if I could No, love don't feel like a ball and chain to me When I'm close to you, my heart feels wild and free If you are my jailer, darling, throw away the key Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Well, if it is a crime for a man to love his wife Then throw that old book at me, give me ninety-nine to life And I'll spend every minute, every hour, every day Holding you close, I don't want to get away Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me When I'm close to you, my heart feels wild and free If you are my jailer, darling, throw away the key Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me ...
