2.When I first came to town well everybody shook me by the hand
  I flashed it all around everywhere I turned I had a friend
  But I got stitched now things are tearing at the seams
  But you've stuck by me baby you take away bad dreams
  I'm sad
  Too bad
  It's driving me out of my brain
  You know I'm never gonna be your ball and chain

3.Inst

4.Yeah I think about you baby think about the days ahead
  I know it won't be long before somebody else is in your bed
  I gotta keep moving cause something's just about to break
  And I won't forget the way you move like a swan on a lake
  I'm gone
  So long
  It's driving me right out of my brain
  Cause I'm never gonna be your ball and chain
