 Ball And Chain (1991)
 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 me heart feels wild and free
 If you are my jailer darling through away the key
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain
 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 me heart feels wild and free
 If you are my jailer darling through 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 me heart feels wild and free
 If you are my jailer darling through away the key
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain
 Love don't feel like a ball and chain
