Looking around your home town
trying to find a reason not to leave
All of your friends don't understand,
you find that small town air so hard to breathe
Clock keeps ticking, don't need the life your living
Deep in your heart don't you feel like running
Over the hills where the real worlds going on?
There's nothing to keep you here
So what have you got to fear?
So don't you hesitate
Kick off the ball and chain (Get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
You work in a job you really hate
For a guy who thinks you're just a waste of space
You've been telling yourself so long now
One day you're gonna put him in his place
Wouldn't you love it, telling the boss to shove it?
Stay Where you are, you'll amount to nothing
It's only a step in your mind and you'll be gone
You know that you wanna go, like the wind you've got to blow
So don't you hesitate
Kick off the ball and chain (Get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Get your ticket and board that train (get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
You know you haven't got a thing to lose
You don't wanna spend your life in a dead mans shoes
There's nothing to keep you here so what have you go to fear?
You'll never be young again
So kick off the ball and chain
You know that you wanna go, like the wind you've got to blow
So kick off the ball and chain
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Get your ticket and board that train (get running)
And kick off the ball and chain (Get running)
