I been walking in these shackles for 20 some odd years
Been picking at this lime stone wondering how'd I end up here
Mama always told me we'll help you if you try
And they all ask why
I'm still doing all this time
I guess I'm rightin' all my wrongs
Stuck in this rock singin' a chain gang song
Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
Been running from these bloodhounds
But I ain't got far at all
They're sniffing out a two day trail
I left outside those walls
I can hear them howling I can see their fiery eyes
And they all ask why
I never said goodbye
Am I rightin' all my wrongs
Or am I stuck singin' a chain gang song
Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
And they all ask why
I can't move on with my life
Have I been dreaming all along
Stuck in my head singin' a chain gang song
Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
Stuck in my head singin' this chain gang song
