The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Breakaway (From Those Chains) lyrics

My aunt Jessie was cruel Lord, she made me go to school All the time It was k**ing me It was a crime 'Cause I could not be free From the confines Of those chains Oh the river was deep But the water looked sweet Oh my, my, my I jumped right in You know I tried But I could not swim Through the darkness or the pain Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains So I headed for the hills Let the danger break my will Oh my, my In a landslide I was losing ground And there was no one but myself to blame Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains No, no, no, I'd breakaway from those chains Breakaway from those chains Breakaway from those chains
