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
