Lyrics

I remember the phone every evening ringing till it fell off the wall
Seemd like every single guy in town was looking for a buddy to call
It was a honky tonk convention sprucing up to get on down
I thought we had same intention but that ain't what I found
Cause weekend after weekend day after day
My friends call me up and say I'm losing my mind just wasting my life away
But let me tell you something I ain't goin' insane
No I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain
I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain

I remember that crowded bar room we saw she was headin' our way
Just a lady in a room full of roosters crowing out their line of the day
She didn't hear a word they were saying she just walked right into my life
She took me by the hand like she had it all planned and we danced on into the night
Oh weekend after weekend day after day
Always together two of a kind just dancing life's heartches away
While my friends are growing old and lazy you know I ain't feeling no pain
Cause I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain
I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain
[ guitar ]
Come on love's for those who make it I'm saying don't sit around and complain
Cause I'm still havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain
Yeah I'm just havin' a ball swinging on my baby's chain
