Darryl Worley - I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles Lyrics
I've been known to have a drink or twoIn the comfort of my homeIt helps to minimize the crazy things I hearWhen I'm aloneYou'd think by nowThat every sound wouldn't send her memory crashing though my brainI wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chainCertain little things she used to sayThey come through loud and clearIt's sad but I admit I listen closer than I didWhen she was hereNow every noiseSounds like her voiceAnd I'm torn between the pleasure and the painI wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chainI wouldn't mind the shacklesI knew the day she left that I'd be wearing them until the end of timeBut every day's a battleJust to keep the burden of my heartFrom interfering with my mindIt’s knowing that I’ll always have her last goodbyeRinging in my ears, driving me insaneI wouldn’t mind the shacklesIf it wasn’t for the rattle of the chainNow it seems like every time I turn around, here it comes againSomeone else is telling me about the brand new love she wound up inI tell myself they all mean wellBut I still tremble at the mention of her nameI wouldn’t mind the shackles if it wasn’t for the rattle of the chainI wouldn’t mind the shacklesI knew the day she left that I’d be wearing them until the end of timeBut every day’s a battleJust to keep the burden of my heartFrom interfering with my mindIt’s knowing that I’ll always have her last goodbyeRinging in my ears, driving me insaneI wouldn’t mind the shackles if it wasn’t for the rattle of the chainNo I wouldn’t mind the shackles if it wasn’t for the rattle of the chains
