And then I heard it like a shot from my skull to my brain
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me
This ramshackle voice over attack of a blues beat
Tellin' me "He's only looking for fun"
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town
As heard by my wild young heart like directions on a cold dark night
Sayin' "Let it out, let it out, let it out
You're doin' all right"
And I heard it in his chain gang soul
How it wasn't just the same sad song
Sayin' "Let it out, let it out, let it out
You're doin' all right"
