/Dish
I got rid of the shackles that bound me
and the guards that were always around me
There were tears on the mail mother wrote me in jail
/Dish
But I'm free from the chain gang now
All the years I was known and respected
'til one day I was wrongly suspected
I was shackled in chains in a cold freezin' rain
/Dish
but I'm free from the chain gang now
All the years I was known by a number
how I kept my mind is a wonder
But like a bird in a tree I got my liberty
/Dish
and I'm free from the chain gang now
I got rid of the shackles that bound me
and the guards that were always around me
There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail
/Dish
But I'm free from the chain gang now
There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail
/Dish
But I'm free from the chain gang now
