Ten Ton Chain - Fred Eaglesmith

A sunset shadow

You got no shades

A touch of the wheel and you’re off the highway

I’ll come down to fetch you with my pretty machine

I’ll get you out with a ten ton chain

A ten ton chain coming out of the dark

With a ten ton chain around my heart

You could shake it like a snake

You could push it like a train

But you can’t break a ten ton chain

A ten ton chain coming out of the dark

With a ten ton chain around my heart

You could shake it like a snake

You could push it like a train

But you can’t break a ten ton chain

«I want water»

That’s what she said

A wreck on the dance floor

Or out on the lanes

But I’m out of the dark

I don’t remember her name

You can’t break a ten ton chain

You can’t break a ten ton chain

A ten ton chain coming out of the dark

With a ten ton chain around my heart
