Ball and Chain

You act like love is a ball and chain
To carry 'round all night and day
Something that keeps you from the run
Honey that ain't my kind of love

I know you loved so hard before
Gave everything, then you gave some more
A bleeding heart you couldn't save
But love herself, she ain't to blame

I want a love to call my own
Someone to have, someone to hold
Somebody facing my same way
Here beside me as I lay

So it will be as it always is
The love we have is the love we give
And in the warm mid-summer rain
I'll always think of your sweet face
But as for now I'll walk away
'Cause you act like love
Is a ball and chain
