Ball and Chain

Ironically, despite the fact that Bradley preaches that he will never get married, a few years later he had "sweet baby" Jakob with girlfriend Troy; whom he finally married in May of 1996 -- just one week before he died.  Jakob can be seen playing on Long Beach in the video for Doin' Time.

I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine months later sweet baby's on the way
Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay

I don't feel no pain
I don't have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view, oh
It's a crazy world to live alone
A ball and chain I call my own
A ba na na na na whooo

People listen up don't stand too close
I've got somethin' that you all should know
Holy matrimony's not for me
I'd rather die alone in misery

I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine months later sweet baby's on the way
Isn't that what they used to say

With a girl you knew
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain, mmm

I step into the great unknown
And a ball and chain I call my home
A-ba-na-na-na-na, whooo

Crazy world to live alone

With a girl that you knew
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain, ohh

I step into the great unknown
And a ball and cahin I call my own

Because marriage doesn't work in the world today
It's an institution that is in decay
And if I have love I wish to portray
I will surley find another way

Because I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine months later the sweet baby's on the way
Kiss him on the cheek and life's okay

I don't feel no pain
I don't have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view
Whoa I step into the great unknown
With a ball and chain I call my own
A-ba-na-na-na-na whoooo
