I am driving beep beep down the cobble stone street I am cradling my health away until I admit defeat. I am headed to work for the man today just like every other day that's ever headed my way. But today is a day that I'll change my life around

*chorus* I'm gonna break. I'm gonna break these chains, yeah. I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break these chains

Going back to the pawn shop where my baby has been, buying back the strings I sold away while my wallet was thin. Then I'll tell the man he need not bother giving me a dime, rather be a poor guitarist than sign away my life. But today is a day that I'll change my life around

*repeat chorus*

BRIDGE-I'm going down I'm going down just one more time. I'm going down I'm going down can't you hear me crying? I'm going down I'm going down and I like it baby!

*repeat chorus*
