I Wouldn`t Mind The Shackles Lyrics




(Darryl Worley/Howard Perdew)

I've been known to have a drink or
two
In the comfort of my home
It helps to minimize the crazy things
I
hear when I'm alone
You'd think by now that every sound
Wouldn't send her
memory crashing through my brain
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't
for the rattle of the chain

Certain little things she used to
say
They come through loud and clear
It's sad but I admit I listen closer
than I did
When she was here
Now every noise sounds like her voice
And
I'm torn between the pleasure and the pain
I wouldn't mind the shackles if
it wasn't for the rattle of the chain

I wouldn't mind the shackles, I
knew the day she left
That I'd be wearing them until the end of time
But
every day's a battle just to keep the burden of my heart
From interfering
with my mind
It's knowing that I'll always have her last goodbye
Ringing
in my ears, driving me insane
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for
the rattle of the chain

Now it seems like everytime I turn around here
it comes again
Someone else is telling me about the brand new love she wound
up in
I tell myself they all mean well
But I still tremble at the mention
of her name
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the
chain

I wouldn't mind the shackles, I knew the day she left
That I'd
be wearing them until the end of time
But every day's a battle just to keep
the burden of my heart
From interfering with my mind
It's knowing that
I'll always have her last goodbye
Ringing in my ears, driving me insane
I
wouldn't mind the shackles 
If it wasn't for the rattle of the
chain

No I wouldn't mind the shackles 
If it wasn't for the rattle of
the chain
