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
