What Social Distortion song has the lyric "A broken nose and a broken heart"?

The Social Distortion song with the lyric “A broken nose and a broken heart” is “Ball and Chain.” The song appears on the band’s 1990 album, Social Distortion, often called White Light, White Heat, White Trash by fans to distinguish it from the band’s 1983 debut album, also titled Social Distortion.

“Ball and Chain” is one of Social Distortion’s best-known songs and reflects frontman Mike Ness’s recurring themes of regret, troubled relationships, addiction, and personal consequences. Its title evokes emotional confinement: the narrator feels weighed down by the mistakes and pain of the past.

A common mix-up is confusing the song with “Story of My Life,” another major Social Distortion track from the same album. “Ball and Chain” was also released as a single and became a staple of the band’s live performances. The phrase in the question is distinctive because it combines physical injury with heartbreak, matching the song’s bleak but melodic punk-rock storytelling.
