[Verse 1]
Well, he's lived here all his life
Him and his farmer wife
With Jesus to believe in
And there's bills that gotta be paid
Money that's gotta be made
And his only son is leavin'
Coming up the lane he sees her standing there
And he lays his head upon her arms and rests it there
[Chorus]
And he's chained to these lovin' arms
Chained to these lovin' arms
And never gonna leave them
Chained to these lovin' arms
Chained to these lovin' arms
And never gonna leave
[Verse 2]
Well they all said that her life's a mess
And they all laughed at her borrowed dress
There's nobody gonna teach them
She was married at seventeen
In the cold New Jersey rain
By a judge, not a preacher
They say good things come to those who wait
But she'll be damned if she's left standing at heaven's gate
Well, he's lived here all his life
Him and his farmer wife
With Jesus to believe in
And there's bills that gotta be paid
Money that's gotta be made
And his only son is leavin'
Coming up the lane he sees her standing there
And he lays his head upon her arms and rests it there
[Chorus]
And he's chained to these lovin' arms
Chained to these lovin' arms
And never gonna leave them
Chained to these lovin' arms
Chained to these lovin' arms
And never gonna leave
[Verse 2]
Well they all said that her life's a mess
And they all laughed at her borrowed dress
There's nobody gonna teach them
She was married at seventeen
In the cold New Jersey rain
By a judge, not a preacher
They say good things come to those who wait
But she'll be damned if she's left standing at heaven's gate
