About the song:
Ball and Chain - (3:45) (J. Johnson, T. Maloney, P. Niehaus IV)
“Ball and Chain has a 70’s old school rock n roll feel, influenced by bands like the Rolling Stones and Faces, with a bit of Motown mixed in to keep it fun. Singing about the duality of love and the normal struggles of relationships, yet in the end we wouldn’t have it any other way and truly “..love that Ball and Chain!”- Jeremiah Johnson

LYRICS
BALL AND CHAIN
V1
THE VITIOUS CYCLE OF LOVE AND PAIN
HOT AIR BALLOONS IN A HURRICANE
SAILING BLIND AND I’M LOST AT SEA
BUT DAMN, WHAT YOU DO TO ME
CHORUS
I DON’T GIVE A DAMN HONEY
I AIN’T TRYING TO PLAY YOUR GAMES
WE GO FROM KICKING UP A FUSS
TO GETTING NAKED AND DRINKING CHAMPANGE - BALL AND CHAIN
V2
THE LONELY PLACE BETWEEN HATE AND LOVE
BREAKING HEARTS THEN THE MAKING UP
TEN THOUSAND MILES FROM EYE TO EYE
GOING OFF LIKE THE FOURTH OF JULY
V3
THE PISS AND MOAN THEN THE TOLERATE
THE SWALLOWED MY PRIDE FOR THAT SUGARCAIN
NO SURPRISE WHEN YOUR TEMPTING FATE
THE PRICE YOU PAY WITH THAT BALL AND CHAIN
OUT
I SURE DO LOVE THAT BALL AND CHAIN, BALL AND CHAIN
V4
THE VITIOUS CYCLE OF LOVE AND PAIN
HOT AIR BALLOONS IN A HURRICANE
SAILING BLIND AND I’M LOST AT SEA
BUT DAMN, WHAT YOU DO TO ME
