There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
Ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
Ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

Love me, ain't you ever gonna love me
I said I never have seen a road too rough to ride
Ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

(Instrumental Break)

Ain't no rope tight enough to bind me
Look for me, honey, you will find me
Any old time you're ready with your charms
I'll be there ready and awaitin', there won't be any hesitation
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

Love me, ain't you ever gonna love me
I said I never have seen a road too rough to ride
Ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
