V1
Even the odds, tie me to a railway, sit on top a hill
baby watch me burn
Breathing the air, pouring from the mountain,
counting every beat of a mended heart
Around the bend, signal from the smoke stack
Whistle takes the place of heaven’s horn

Chorus
This life’s got me tied to a ball and chain
Oh I’m getting ready oh I’m gonna break away
There saying it’s my time to go, it’s not my time
you know Oh I’m gonna break away

I’m gonna break on...

V2
Open the gate
Lead me to the pasture, feed me clean water and
leave me be
Out on the sea, rollin’ with the weather, taking on
water seems clean to me
It’s where I’ll be, trying to be a better brother,
drinkin’ all the words that are fed to me.

Chorus
This life’s got me tied to a ball and chain
Oh I’m getting ready oh I’m gonna break away
There saying it’s my time to go, it’s not my time
you know Oh I’m gonna break away
