Pam Tillis: "Draggin' My Chains" Lyrics

You know everyday I walk down memory lane

Trying to find a way past the same old pain

Ah you know, but now the message is loud and it's clear

There ain't no way to get there from here

Chorus:

Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are

I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar

I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around

Deep down, deep down

Well, I know an old soldier who walks with a limp

From a war he's still fightin' inside of him

And just like me he'll go to his grave

Nursin' a pain that won't go away

(Chorus)

Maybe I really don't wanna be through

With all the memories I have of you

We had some bad times but we had good times too

(Chorus)

You'll always be around

Deep down
