Breakaway (From Those Chains) — текст песни (The Ozark Mountain Daredevils)

(GUITAR INTRO)

my aunt Jessie was cruel

Lord, she made me go to school

all the time

it was killing me

it was a crime

cause I could not be free

from the confines

of those chains



oh the river was deep

but the water looked sweet

oh my, my, my

I jumped right in

you know I tried

but I could not swim

thru the darkness or the pain



never thought I`d breakaway from those chains

never thought Id` breakaway from those chains

never thought Id` breakaway from those chains

never thought Id` breakaway from those chains

(short SLIDE SOLO)



so I headed for the hills

let the danger break my will

oh my, my

in a landslide

I was losing ground

and there was no one but myself to blame



never thought I`d breakaway from those chains

never thought I`d breakaway from those chains

never thought I`d breakaway from those chains

noo, no, no, I`d breakaway from those chains

(SLIDE SOLO)



breakaway from those chains

breakaway from those chains

breakaway from those chains

breakaway from those chains

breakaway from those chains

breakaway from those chains
