These Chains — текст песни (Kenny Rogers)

These chains.

These chains won`t keep me from being a free man
Doing what I can to get out of here,
and these chains won`t keep me from seeing my freedom,
changing my name and starting over again.

I was a fool for a good looking woman,
�til I found out the hard way, there was some out of me
Now what else could I do, how could any one blame me,
to stand in this smile and with a gun in his hands.

These chains won`t ...

She had a known reputation but I paid no attention,
good love and affection can make anything right
But judged no mercy for my infatuation,
she said: killers are sinned boys, you`ve gotta pay the price.

These chains won`t ...

Down the hole there`s a window
You can barely see thro` it
Deep in the night I see
The lights of town
And started me thinking that a mystical ladder
is as high as these walls and I`m climbing it run by run.

These chains won`t ...
