Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way
Chorus:
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away, take away this ball and chain
Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But whenever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere
(Repeat Chorus)
Guitar Solo: (3:15) (Not relative to capo)

Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
Been drinkin' since half past noon
I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
(Repeat Chorus)
You could figure out the outro based on the riffs above. It's really easy to figure out.
