Story Behind the Song
This song was primarily written by Exitspecialists' bassist / vocalist Mel Eberle. Rich added the "Got a ball and chain" part while the band was rehearsing to go into the studio and it stuck. Mel sings the lead vocal and Scott Beallis adds some grand piano..
Lyrics
Seems to me, we're walking in circles
were running from each other
I beleive in you, do you believe in me
I want you to know, I love you so
Seems to me, we're just getting older
Seems to me we live in a world with no answers
Hard times bring out the best in each other
And in these times we must face one and other
And if I must I'll face the world in solitude
But I'd rather face the world with you
My love, it's you my love
Got a ball and chain, got a ball and chain
Got a ball and chain, got a ball and ch ain
Seems to me, it's time to ignite the flame
Seems to me, we can't just live life for gain
If passion and truth are to be one
We must sacrifice certain rules
We each have our own set of rules
So let your flowers blossom in the morning dew
Oh my love, i t's you my love
It's you my love
Got a ball and chain, got a ball and chain
Got a ball and chain, got a ball and chain
Living deep in blame, got it in our veins
Filling with disdain, burning in my brain
Got a ball and chain, got a ball and chain
Got a ba ll and chain, got a ball and chaintdž
