Breakaway (from Those Chains) Lyrics - Singles - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

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 

Through 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 

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 Id' breakaway from those chains 

Never thought Id' breakaway from those chains 

Never thought Id' breakaway from those chains 

No, no, no, I'd breakaway from those chains 

Breakaway from those chains 

Breakaway from those chains 

Breakaway from those chains 

Breakaway from those chains 

Breakaway from those chains 

Breakaway from those chains
