Back On The Chain Gang

I found a picture of you. Oh
What hijacked my world that night.
To a place in the past we've been cast out of. Oh
Now we're back in the fight.
Back on the train, hey.
Oh, back on the chain gang.

Circumstance beyond our control. oh.
The phone, the tv, and the news of the world
Got into the house like a pigeon from hell. Oh.
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies.
Put us back on the train, hey.
Oh, back on the chain gang.

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you.
And I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll all fall to ruin one day
For making us part.

I found a picture of you. Oh.
Those were the happiest days of our life.
Like a break in the battle was your part OH
In the wretched life of a lonely heart.
Now we're back on the train, hey.
Oh, Back on the chain gang.

The Pretenders/Chrissie Hynde

Tremendous writing there, boys.
 
Always loved that song. We used to do "Middle of the Road." "Chain Gang" would have worked well, I'm sorry we didn't work that up.
