Feeling The Weight Of My Chains

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
