[Verse 1]
I went to see her laid out to meet her saints
She was dressed in white, low cut silk and lace
Even her mama said she was always trouble
Promise a man everything, give him half and charge him double

[Chorus]
We all gonna bust loose
One of these days
We all got to stay loose
Come what may
We all wanna cut loose
On payday
We ain't ever gonna break loose
Of these rock and roll ways

[Verse 2]
The girl walked like she owned Bourbon Street
And in those days she had grown men kneeling at her feet
She took to an old profession as the source of revenue
Now all she's taking with her is a dress from Saks Fifth Avenue

[Chorus]
We all gonna bust loose
One of these days
We all got to stay loose
Come what may
We all wanna cut loose
On payday
We ain't ever gonna break loose
Of these rock and roll ways
[Verse 3]
She called me up one time and said, "Let's go get tattoos"
I said, "Well, let me brush my teeth and find my shoes"
She come down the street in a stolen Volkswagen
She smiled and said she'd decided on a crimson Chinese dragon

[Chorus]
We all gonna bust loose
One of these days
We all got to stay loose
Come what may
We all wanna cut loose
On payday
We ain't ever gonna break loose
Of these rock and roll ways

[Chorus]
We all gonna bust loose
One of these days
We all got to stay loose
Come what may
We all wanna cut loose
On payday
We ain't ever gonna break loose
Of these rock and roll ways
