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
