Lyrics
It was a cruel turn of fate
I did three bitter years inside
A friend of mine who set me up
But 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 dancin' on the yard
The searchlight creepin' 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 shinin'
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 it
I'm standin' right beside it
Watchin' everything you do
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
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 dreamin' of beatin' the system
They had me down upon my knees
And soon I was beggin' for mercy
My girl she said she'd stick it out
She kissed my finger through the grill
She whispered she'd love no one else
But then she took off with a freak from the south side
The night they passed me down the news
That's when the fuse started burnin'
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 it
I'm standin' right beside it
Watchin' everything you do
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Watchin' everything you do
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 it
I'm standin' right beside it
Watchin' everything you do
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Watchin' everything you do
