Chains Of This Town

[Verse 1]
Once there was a time
When my hand and heart were free
The mother of security wrapped her arms around me
Then the dungeon doors were opened
Cast a shadow all around
Tryin' to shake away from the chains of this 'ole town

[Chorus]
Chains of this town
They've rusted away
The noose that once was tight
Has now been loosened from my neck
Chains of this town
Broken me free
Shakin' the dust off of my coat
Clearin' the blur out of my eyes
Shakin' away the chains of this 'ole town

[Verse 2]
Walkin' through a parkin' lot
Empty, late at night
Cold wind whipped through my mind
Rattles on them 'ole street lights
Ghosts walk in the alleys
And on the sidewalks of downtown
I'm tryin' to shake away from the chains of this 'ole town

[Chorus]
Chains of this town
They've rusted away
The noose that once was tight
Has now been loosened from my neck
Chains of this town
Broken me free
Shakin' the dust off of my coat
Clearin' the blur out of my eyes
Shakin' away the chains of this 'ole town

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I've had my last meal
I made my last wish
Push away the padre
Unlock the shackles from my wrist
Take the guard off of my door
Pull the drawbridge down
I've finally shaken away from the chains of this 'ole town

[Bridge]
Chains of this town
Have rusted away
The noose that once was tight
Has now been loosened from my neck
Chains of this town
Broken me free
Shakin' the dust off of my coat
Clearin' the blur out of my eyes
Shakin' away the chains of this 'ole town!
