I was a slave to the night life
Swore I'd never let a woman tie me down
Add whiskey and me shadow to the neon lights
And I was just a prisoner in the crowd
I never wanted to escape from that honky-tonk world
But I looked into the eyes of that sweet southern girl
And she broke my freedom chain
That woman changed my wild and wooly way
My old habits went down in flames
When she broke my freedom chain
That highway's right outside her door
And I could take off anytime I please
But I don't go out cattin' anymore
This stray cat's found a home on Lovin' Street
She got a drop dead smile, looks that could kill
She's hotter than a torch, burnin' through steel
And she broke my freedom chain
That woman changed my wild and wooly ways
My old habits went down in flames
And she broke my freedom chain
And she broke my freedom chain
That woman changed my wild and wooly ways
My old habits went down in flames
And she broke my freedom chain
Link by link, she broke my freedom chain
Freedom chain...... Yeah
