Chained To These Lovin' Arms
Well, he's lived here all his life Him and his farmer wife, With Jesus to believe in And there's bills that gotta be paid Money that's gotta be made And his only son is leavin' Coming up the lane he sees her standing there And he lays his head upon her arms and rests it there
And he's Chained To These Lovin' Arms Chained To These Lovin' Arms Ain't never gonna leave them Chained To These Lovin' Arms Chained To These Lovin' Arms Ain't never gonna leave
They all said that her life's a mess They all laughed at her borrowed dress There's nobody gonna teach them She was married at seventeen In the cold New Jersey rain By a judge, not a preacher They say good things come to those who wait But she'll be damned if she's left standing At heaven's gate
And she's Chained To These Lovin' Arms Chained To These Lovin' Arms Ain't never gonna leave them Chained To These Lovin' Arms Chained To These Lovin' Arms Ain't never gonna leave
'Cause love don't come easy, that's a fact Ain't never turning back the hands of time Least not yet
Well, they moved there in the fall Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To the streets of Montreal The singer and the poet But the words never seemed to rhyme And the song sounded out of time, Though they tried not to show it Three flights up the stairs in a rented flat They held on to each other tight And they never did look back
And they're Chained To These Lovin' Arms Chained To These Lovin' Arms Ain't never gonna leave them Chained To These Lovin' Arms Chained To These Lovin' Arms Ain't never gonna leave
If I was a saint I would not cry If I knew better I'd just get by If I was a child I wouldn't worry But all they understand is a poker face And a winning hand Go tell it to the jury Well, now, dreams are not the only stuff of life I know that well, 'cause I'm lying safe and sound in your arms tonight
And I'm Chained To These Lovin' Arms Chained To These Lovin' Arms Ain't never gonna leave them Chained To These Lovin' Arms Chained To These Lovin' Arms Ain't never gonna leave 'Cause love don't come easy, that's a fact Ain't never turning back the hands of time Least not yet
