Back On The Chain Gang (Pretenders Cover)
A #1 version of the hit single by The Pretenders as sung by Jere Larosa backed by The Jay Dyall Project. I always thought Chrissie sounded like a female version of George Harrison, and Jere sings similar to George's voice, so here it is!

Lyrics
Back On The Chain Gang (The Pretenders Cover)
words and music by Christine Hynde
I found a picture of you, oh-oh
What hijacked my world that night?
To a place in the past, we've been cast out of, oh-oh
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang
Circumstance beyond our control, oh-oh
The phone, the TV, and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh-oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
And put us back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang
The powers that be
That forced us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you
Well, I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part, aah-ah-aah
I found a picture of you, oh-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now I'm back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang
Back on the chain gang
Back on the chain gang
Back on the chain gang
Back on the chain gang....
