I remember the phone every evening Ringing till it fell off the wall Seemed like every single guy in town Was looking for a buddy to call It was a honky tonk convention Sprucing up to get on down I thought we had same intention But that ain't what I found 'Cause weekend after weekend, day after day My friends call me up and say I'm losing my mind, just wasting my life away But let me tell you something, I ain't goin' insane No, I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain I remember that crowded bar room We saw she was headin' our way Just a lady in a room full of roosters Crowing out their line of the day She didn't hear a word they were saying She just walked right into my life She took me by the hand like she had it all planned And we danced on into the night Oh, weekend after weekend, day after day Always together, two of a kind Just dancing life's heartaches away While my friends are growing old and lazy You know I ain't feeling no pain 'Cause I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain Come on, love's for those who make it I'm saying, don't sit around and complain 'Cause I'm still havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain Yeah, I'm just havin' a ball swingin' on my baby's chain
