BB King lyrics

Chains And Things blues lyrics

Woke up this mornin, after another one of those crazy dreams.
Oh, nothing is goin right this mornin, the whole world is wrong it seems.
Oh, I guess it's the chains that bind me,
I can't shake em loose, these chains and things.

Got to go to work this mornin, seems like everything is lost.
I got a cold hearted, wrong doin woman and a slave drivin boss.
I can't loose these chains that bind me,
Can't shake em loose, these chains and things.
Mmmm, just can't loose these chains and things.

Oh, you talk about hard luck and trouble, seem to be my middle name,
All of the odds against me, yes, I can only play the loosing game.
These chains that bind me,
Can't loose these chains and things.
Mmmm, just can't loose these chains and things.

Oh, I would pack up and leave today people, but I ain't got nowhere to go.
Ain't got no money to buy a ticket and I don't feel like walkin anymore.
Oh, these chains that bind me,
Oh, I can't loose, I can't loose these chains and things.
