Busted Loose

It 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
