Paul Brady - Busted Loose Lyrics
It was a cruel turn of fateI did three bitter years insideA friend of mine who set me upAnd he was the one got away with the money.But I swore tonight would be the nightThis place couldn't hold me no longer.The rain was dancing on the yardThe searchlight creeping down the wallThe night it was so black outsideI nearly jumped half a block from the rendezvous.But when I landed on the streetI saw the green light come shiningChorusI'm busted loose, I'm out on the runI'm so close, you're right in the sights of my gun,I'm nervous, I'm out of controlI can't stop the hurricane down in my soulNobody can hide youI'm standing right beside youWatching everything you do.I thought that I was strong enoughTo take the screws at their own gameBut they've got tricks they keep in storeFor anyone dreaming of beating the systemThey had me down upon my kneesSoon I was begging for mercyMy girl she said she'd stick it outShe kissed my fingers through the grilleShe whispered she'd love no-one elseBut then she took off with a creep from the south sideThe night they passed me down the newsThat's when the fuse started burningRepeat Chorus
