Ball And Chain Lyrics By Tommy James

    i went down to the valley just to find out who i am lord
    down home in the valley i’ve got to get myself back together again now
    i looked all around me but everything was still the same
    people you can’t climb that mountain carrying a ball and chain no
    because it takes all the love that your give to get to the other side
    it makes all the life that you can live so satisfied yeah so satisfied

    come come comin’ together that’s the only way we can go
    children you better turn around take a look where you been before now
    come come come on people don’t you know that we’re all the same
    you know we ain’t gonna climb that mountain carrying a ball and chain
    because it takes all the love that your give to get to the other side
    it makes all the life that you can live so satisfied yeah so satisfied
