Tompall And The Glaser Brothers - Feelin' the Weight of My Chains lyrics

I nearly made it all the way to work this morning Then I changed my mind There's an empty feeling in my soul That's crying for a lifetime of marking time I don't know if it's too late to find success Or if my life can take the change But I'm not getting any younger And I'm feeling the weight of my chains My woman waits at home for me inside The safety of an aging dream She goes on believing in some Promises that she ain't never seen And it would break her heart if she knew how My thoughts are tortured by the strain God knows that I love her I'm just feeling the weight of my chains I'm not looking for that pot of gold beyond Some faded rainbow in the sky I'm just trying hard to feed a hungry dream That's trying hard to stay alive But sometime I feel like giving up When all my efforts seem in vain But somehow I'll keep on trying I'm just feeling the weight of my chains Lord knows I'll keep on trying I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
