These Chains Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

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 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.

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 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. 

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.
