Chain Gang Blues
[Verse 1]
Sure is a long race to run
When there's no place left to turn to
When everything around ya just screams crash and burn
And it's always echoing through
Well, judges they sound with a cold hammer down
There's no doubt about it they know right where you belong
And they're just left there singing

[Chorus]
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
These chain gang blues
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
These chain gang blues

[Verse 2]
Whistles they sound as they tear people's whole lives down
With a pass of each blow
And it's hardly ever found but it's always around
Innocence bound by the chains from their boots
Their picks up and down and they sledge to the ground
With no pardons for the lines of their truths
And they're just left there singing
[Chorus]
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
These chain gang blues
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
These chain gang blues (Oh)

[Bridge]
And it's too hard of sound
When the Angels they fall to the ground
Must be a long way down
With that view..
And they're just left there singing

[Chorus]
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
These chain gang blues
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
These chain gang blues... (Oh)
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
These chain gang blues
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
The chain gang blues
[Outro]
It's hardly ever found but it's always around
Innocence bound by the chains from their boots
