Roger Chapman
5:39It was a cruel turn of fate I spent three bitter years inside A friend of mine had set me up He was the one who got away with the money I swore tonight would be the night This place wouldn't hold me no longer The rain was dancin' in the yard Searchlight creepin' down the wall The night, it was so black outside I nearly jumped down in the wrong hole But when I landed on the street I saw the green light come shinin' Bustin' loose, out on the run Well, I'm so close, you're right in the sight of my gun Yes, I'm nervous, out of control Lord, I can't stop the hurry come down in my soul Nobody can hide you I'm standin' right beside you And I'm watchin' everything you do Watchin' everything you do Well, I'm watchin' everything you do Watchin' everything you do I thought that I was strong enough To take the screws at their own game But they got tricks they keep in store For anyone thinkin' of beatin' the system They had me down upon my knees Soon I was beggin', "Please have mercy" My girl, she said, "Stick it out" She kissed my fingers through the grill She whispered she loved no one else And she went off with the sun cream on the outside The night they passed me down the noose That's when the fuse started burnin' Bustin' loose, out on the run Well, I'm so close and you're right in the sight of my gun Well, I'm nervous, out of control Well, I can't stop the hurry come down in my soul Yes, I'm bustin' loose, well, I'm out on the run And I'm so close, you're right in the sight of my gun Well, I'm nervous, out of control Said I can't stop, can't stop the hurry come down in my soul Nobody can hide you And I'm standin' right beside you Watchin' everything you do Watchin' everything you do Well, I'm watchin' everything you do Watchin' everything you do Standin' right beside you Watchin' everything you do Well, I'm nervous Watchin' everything you do
