Lyrics
Breakin? Out of Jail
In A Sleazy Dive in Texas
Kickin? back and waiting for the show
In A Sleazy Dive in Texas
Kickin? back and waiting for the show
The band was warming up
And you could tell they could really blow
A blues band called the Cobras
Played a groove with venom in the bite
Yeah this band they called the cobras
Laid down a groove with venom in the bite
The way they tore into the first tune
We knew we?d be rockin? hard tonight
Yeah they made it bite, Yeah they made it wail
Yeah they played it like, They were breakin out of jail
Well we listened to the sax man
He played it sweet and then he made it wail
Well we listened to the sax man
He played it sweet and then he made it wail
But when the guitar took the spotlight
He played like he was breakin out of jail
Yeah he made it bite, Yeah he made it wail
Yeah he played it like, he was breakin out of jail
Yeah Stevie played the blues
Like I never heard them played before
Yeah Stevie played the blues
Like I never heard them played before
He beat on that poor guitar
Made it scream like it couldn?t take no more
