Blackie & the Rodeo Kings - Swinging From The Chains Of Love lyrics

(Wilson/Fearing)

I built a little love nest we set it on fire

Down came the tree that held our desire

Now there's no one home on this broken branch so I'm movin' on

Chorus

And I'm not done with these passionate chains

I'm draggin' them around town making such a sad sound

Baby

You better look out mama 'cause I'm so strung out

Swingin' from these chains of love

I've got a dirty little story if you really want to hear

About a dirty little bird that used to come around here

But the booze dried up and the car won't start so I'm movin' on

Chorus

Chains of love

Keeping me from the ground

Chains of love

Swingin' from these chains

I caught a little bird I grabbed her and kissed her

Boy was I surprised when I seen your sister

But when the sun goes down all cinnamon brown I'm movin' on

Chorus

Swingin' from the chains of love

Swingin' from the chains of love

Swingin' from the chains of love
