Lyrics

Chain Of Sin
Sharon, Alton, Art & Margie Corey/BMI Copyright 2001 (C)


Chain of Sin these empty buildings
Had a name the Devil knew
He let it ride in his black ledger
And let it burn, when the debt was due

1st Verse
Now we came down thru Red Rock Canyon
Where this town burned long ago
Came to strike the Devil's bargain
And make our run for Old Mexico.......

Chorus......................

Chain of Sin's, gonna bind us,
this time round we'll get away
Don't look back keep on runnin',
we just might live another day
Chain of Sin, we wanted Heaven,
but there's so much Hell to paid
Don't you cry my little darlin',
we might see a better day........ See a better day...........

2nd Verse
Stolen goods and double dealin'
The pick up man just fired away
I shot him dead, cold dead, but I'll soon join him
So take his cash and please make your play

Chorus..............

Bridge
Oh, my Lord......you were a sweet thing
It's your soul I took away
You can't go home, can't go to Heaven
I'll catch up with you someday.............
