Philip Claypool - Swingin' On My Baby's Chain lyrics

rate me

I remember the phone every evening ringing till it fell off the wall

Seemd like every single guy in town was looking for a buddy to call

It was a honky tonk convention sprucing up to get on down

I thought we had same intention but that ain't what I found

Cause weekend after weekend day after day

My friends call me up and say I'm losing my mind just wasting my life away

But let me tell you something I ain't goin' insane

No I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain

I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain

I remember that crowded bar room we saw she was headin' our way

Just a lady in a room full of roosters crowing out their line of the day

She didn't hear a word they were saying she just walked right into my life

She took me by the hand like she had it all planned and we danced on into the night

Oh weekend after weekend day after day

Always together two of a kind just dancing life's heartches away

While my friends are growing old and lazy you know I ain't feeling no pain

Cause I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain

I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain

[ guitar ]

Come on love's for those who make it I'm saying don't sit around and complain

Cause I'm still havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain

Yeah I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain
