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
