breakin' loose

38 special

it was the typical blues

it was more bad news

i was walkin' down a dirty street

saw a man

i knew some years before

on the corner where the losers meet

he had rags on his back

as a matter of fact

had a cold look on his face

he was standin' in line

groanin' words to the kind

as i passed i could hear him say

he said. don't live your life by the dollar sign

live life to the limit

that's the bottom line

no guarantees what tomorrow will bring

be the best at what you are

it's all a little insane>

breakin' loose

breakin' the chain

you never know what the future will bring

breakin' loose

breakin' the spell

i tried a part

now i'm playin' it well

professional man

had the world in his hands

he arrived in the finest cars

he posted up his lifetime success

every night at his favorite bar

he got off the track

he never looked back

he's an upper class renegade

now he ain't got a dime

just his peace of mind

and he knows that he's got it made

breakin' loose

breakin' the chain

you never know what the future will bring

breakin' loose

breakin' the spell

i tried a part

now i'm playin' it well

breakin' loose

emotional bruise

that's enough

it's time to go through

breakin' loose

cut the line

it don't matter what your money can buy

breakin' loose

breakin' the chain

you never know what the future will bring

breakin' loose

breakin' the spell

i tried a part

now i'm playin' it well

breakin' loose

emotional bruise

the house on the hill

in a financial noose

breakin' loose

cut the line

it don't matter what your money can buy
