The Night We Nearly Got Busted - Alabama 3

Jack he dont chill

He’s popped too many pills

Says he’s gonna set all the people free

Jane’s much the same

She’s never played the game

They used to like to keep me company

They never could stand still

Always up on that hill

Said they had to check out the territory

'cause see the word was out

There was no doubt about it

Undercover men on every corner of their property

Jack he just took Jane by the hand

He said, «come over here awhile honey, 'cause tonight

I’m gonna take you right back

'cause you remember that night?

We used to feel so fine»

The night we nearly got busted

Got down on our knees

The night we nearly got busted

It was the Lord who set us free, Lord who set us free, yeah

We nearly got busted, me and Larry Love, we’re just too damn slick

See now

Jane, all those thrills they started to spill all out all over

She said she could, she could hear 'em talkin in the hall

An’gonna

Jack just used to fill up that broken cup

He swore he saw 'em looking through the holes in the motel wall

He said, «hey, baby, we got time to kill

Eat another goddamn pill

I’m gonna check out the coast guard’s commentary

'cause I believe our ship is comin in tonight

And I feel so fine I’m gonna

Spin out another tale of sweet testimony now

So come over here, baby

Come over here baby

I’m gonna take you by the hand to the promised land

'cause remember that night?

You used to feel so fine

You used to feel so fine»

The night we nearly got busted?

Got down on our knees

The night we nearly got busted

It was the Lord who set us free

The night we nearly got busted

Got down on our knees

It was the Lord who set us free, Lord who set us free, yeah

'cause I feel like gettin down on my knees again tonight, baby

'cause I know, I know the Lord’s gonna set us free

Shh baby, shh baby

I swear I can see some light comin' over the hill

There’s somethin' goin' on outside man, I don’t like the feel

Yeah, the vibe’s gone colder than honey

Your bag packed?

I feel we gotta run soon

Listen to the.

Busted

Turn the lights down low

Turn that stereo off I can’t think no more

Busted

Yeah, baby you alright?

Listen up

We can’t wait, can’t hesitate

'cause they, they’re pickin the padlocks at the gate

Smell the violence, blind suckers on the side of silence are smilin',

givin' the eye

Checkin' out our fingerprint file inquiries, diggin' in the diaries

The mother fuckers been messin' with the phone lines

Wait, don’t hesitate

'cause they, they’re pickin' the padlocks at the gate

Smell the violence, blind suckers on the side of silence are smilin',

givin the eye

Checkin' our our fingerprint file inquiries, diggin' in the diaries

The mother fuckers been messin' with the phone lines
