Breakin' Loose

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 for 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 Oh breakin' loose
