The Night We Nearly Got Busted Lyrics - Exile On Coldharbour Lane - A3 (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" 

remember, 

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 

the night we nearly got busted, yeah 

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. shh 

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
