The Funk Continues
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singing to myself
There's got to be another way
Take away, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away,
Never to return again
Take away, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere
Take away, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away,
Never to return again
Take away, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
Been drinking since half past noon
I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
Take away, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away,
Never to return again
Take away, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
Don'tcha hate it when you get a song stuck in your head?

Is that the Johnny Cash or the Social Distortion version?
sorry for the funk...
hugs...
peace...
The only song I've ever known ALL of the words to was 99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall.
Social Distortion is what I've been listening to Mel.
Ya know... You could always be glad it's not "It's a Small World"... Or "Copacabana". Those are horrendous.
Big Big Hug's!!!! I wanted to wish you a safe and a very Merry Christmas!!!!!
Cool! Social Distortion Rocks! Have a Merry Christmas babe! Too bad you don't live close by. I'd come over with some cold Corona's and we could be in a "funk" together;)
Just wanted to say Merry Christmas, and I am sorry for your funk. You are a great person and it sucks to be in a funk.
Close your eyes and picture beer at 8am listening to good music while riding away from the shore to have a great day of fishing. That might help.
i do hate it
bye bye miss american pie
