Chaingang Fred Eaglesmith

Give me water
I need some shade
I've been out here
For days and days
Show me mercy
Call my name
I'm on the chain gang
The chain gang again

I'm on the chain gang
The chain gang of love
Her eyes are my prison
The walls are her touch
I try to run Lord
But I always give up
I'm on the chain gang
The chain gang of love

I looked up
Into her smile
Somebody said
15 to life
I looked down
I never raised my head
Indefinite term
Was all she said
