Busted Loose Lyrics

Busted Loose lyrics

It was a cruel turn of fate 

I did three bitter years inside 

A
friend of mine who set me up 

And he was the one got away with the money.


But I swore tonight would be the night 

This place couldn't hold me
no longer. 



The rain was dancing on the yard 

The searchlight
creeping down the wall 

The night it was so black outside 

I nearly
jumped half a block from the rendezvous. 

But when I landed on the street


I saw the green light come shining 



Chorus 



I'm
busted loose, I'm out on the run 

I'm so close, you're right in the sights
of my gun, 

I'm nervous, I'm out of control 

I can't stop the
hurricane down in my soul 

Nobody can hide you 

I'm standing right
beside you 

Watching everything you do. 



I thought that I
was strong enough 

To take the screws at their own game 

But
they've got tricks they keep in store 

For anyone dreaming of beating the
system 

They had me down upon my knees 

Soon I was begging for
mercy



My girl she said she'd stick it out 

She kissed my
fingers through the grille 

She whispered she'd love no-one else 

But then she took off with a creep from the south side 

The night they
passed me down the news 

That's when the fuse started burning 



Repeat Chorus
