Save me, free me
From my heart this time
The train's gone down the track
And I'm left behind.

Nothin' can free me
From this ball and chain
I've made up my mind
I would live today.

But you're keepin' me going
I know it's insane
'Cause I'll love you
And lose again.

When the heart calls and the mind obeys
It knows better than me
I hold on for one more day
Oh, maybe maybe he'll be true.

Nothin' can free me
From this ball and chain
I've made up my mind
I would live today.

--- Mandolin Instrumental ---

Save me, free me
From my heart this time
The train's gone down the track
And I'm left behind.

Nothin' can free me
From this ball and chain
I've made up my mind
I would live today...
