David Ramirez - Ball And Chain lyrics

Be careful with your hobbies They may define you someday Hold on to some of your stories Save just a few from the soundwaves God bless the man behind the microphone God damn that silver ball and chain And what does it mean…mean to be honest? When the audience decides what you mean Some do it for fame, some do it for glory Well some days I miss playing the streets God bless the man behind the microphone God damn that silver ball and chain And if you couldn't get anyone to listen Would you finish what you began? 'Cause I refuse to be letters on a marquee Refuse to be buried on that bandstand God bless the man behind the microphone God damn that silver ball and chain
