Breakaway (From Those Chains)

Lyrics

(GUITAR INTRO) My aunt Jessie was cruel Lord, she made me go to school All the time It was killing me It was a crime Cause I could not be free From the confines Of those chains Oh the river was deep But the water looked sweet Oh my, my, my I jumped right in You know I tried But I could not swim Thru the darkness or the pain Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Never thought Id' breakaway from those chains Never thought Id' breakaway from those chains Never thought Id' breakaway from those chains (short SLIDE SOLO) So I headed for the hills Let the danger break my will Oh my, my In a landslide I was losing ground And there was no one but myself to blame Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Never thought I'd breakaway from those chains Noo, no, no, I'd breakaway from those chains (SLIDE SOLO) Breakaway from those chains Breakaway from those chains Breakaway from those chains Breakaway from those chains Breakaway from those chains Breakaway from those chains Lyrics are copyright 1976, John Dillon
