"Loose" lyrics

"Loose"

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

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
Now we ain't ever gonna break loose of these old rock and roll ways

Now that 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 source of revenue
Now all she's taking with her is a dress from Saks 5th Avenue

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
Now we ain't ever gonna break loose of these old rock and roll ways

She called me up one time and said let's go get tattoos
I said well lem'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
