I'm Free From the Chain Gang Now

I got rid of the shackles
that bound me
and the guards
that were always
around me

There were tears on the mail
mother sent me in jail
But I'm free from the
chain gang now

All the years I was known
and respected then one day
I was wrongly suspected

I was shackled in chains
in a cold freezin' rain
but I'm free from the
chain gang now

All the years I was
known by a number
how I kept my mind
is a wonder

Like a bird in a tree
I got my liberty
and I'm free from the
chain gang now

I got rid of the shackles
that bound me
and the guards
that were always
around me

There were tears on the mail
mother sent me in jail
But I'm free from the
chain gang now

There were tears on the mail
mother sent me in jail
But I'm free from the
chain gang now
