Well the kid checked his stance and tightened his pants And took his first step in the night Jacko said that he'd fix him up with a girl who'd be alright Well he picked him up in his Sandman, they raced every red light in town Jacko put on a real cool face but he's sweatin' there's no cops around So, oh-oh-oh, oh he's bustin' loose, woh-oh-oh, he's bustin' loose He's got a matchbox of pot hidden in a secret spot Which they'll smoke in the old schoolyard Well he's never too sure if he gets stoned or not But tonight he's gonna try awful hard And he's fifteen or sixteen, he's tryin' to make the mean team And Jacko's his man all the way He'll go for broke if he can, he knows that Jacko's his man And they both pray that they'll get away So, oh-oh-oh, oh he's bustin' loose, woh-oh-oh, he's bustin' loose So, oh-oh-oh, oh he's bustin' loose, woh-oh-oh, he's bustin' loose Well every guy's a clumsy poet and every girl's a beauty queen Well they're fogging up the windows of their friends parked cars On the way to their land of dreams, you know what I mean Well he remembers the nights when the stars they burned bright And she let him go all the way Said it was different that time 'cause she said take your time Slow down let me show you the way Well the sand was warm underneath where they lay A cool breeze made the waves dance and play A band played in the hall, they were loud it was small But who listened anyway And every guy's a clumsy poet and every girl's a beauty queen But they're so caught up in appearances That they don't really know what they mean So, oh-oh-oh, oh he's bustin' loose, woh-oh-oh, he's bustin' loose So, oh-oh-oh, oh he's bustin' loose, woh-oh-oh, he's bustin' loose I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
