THE TIES THAT BIND

Studio take 3

You been hurt, your all cried out you say
Your just pushing everybody out of your way
You pack your bags and all alone you ride
You don't want nothin', don't need no one by your side
You're walkin' tough baby, but you're walkin' blind

To the ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind
No man can forsake the ties that bind

Outside, inside, anyway you wanna go
There's one thing little darling that I know
People wondering just who's gonna stop the rain
Who ends the sadness, who's gonna quiet the pain
You walk the walk, but will you stand and walk the line
And face the ties that bind

The ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind

???
???
???
I wanna ??? you baby

Oh the ties that bind
The ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind
No man can forsake the ties that bind
You just can't shake the ties that bind
