Ball & Chain

Oh, heavy
It’ll feel heavy if you’re doing it right
If you’re filling it up with love and trust
How could it ever be light
You let me
Let me lay this weary head down
I know I’m safe ‘cause I know i’ll wake up
Right where I am right now

Every ship needs an anchor
Heading out to sea
There’s a million miles of roots
Under every tree
When the wind starts blowing
Somebody’s holding you right where you’re meant to be
I know I’ve got the same
You won’t let me drift away
Ball and chain

Everyone tells me
Love’s going to tie you up
But if you’re already where you want to be
Then you ain’t really stuck

Every ship needs an anchor
Heading out to sea
There’s a million miles of roots
Under every tree
When the wind starts blowing
Somebody’s holding you right where you’re meant to be
I know I’ve got the same
You won’t let me drift away
Ball and chain

Oh the secret is the right two hearts together
To hold each other steady
And still be light as a feather

Every ship needs an anchor
Heading out to sea
There’s a million miles of roots
Under every tree
When the wind starts blowing
Somebody’s holding you right where you’re meant to be
I know I’ve got the same
You won’t let me drift away
Ball and chain
