Lyric Turn It Loose

Tom Johnston

People all around me
Everywhere I go
I thought I had a grip on things
Now I just don t know
People turn their backs on me
My feet are movin slow
I done time, I been shined
Ain t gonna fight no more
I m gonna make it
I m gonna try
Ain t no use to sit and cry

Turn it loose; don t hold back
Got to set your spirit free
Turn it loose; listen to me, children
It s the best kind of remedy
Turn it loose; you got the power
That s the way it s got to be
Turn it loose; get on board
It s just for people like you and me Some friends, they hide it
Keep it deep inside
For the boy it s a struggle
Don t you know it s a lie
You got to be the real thing
It flows with the tide
You are the person
With the answer inside
I m gonna make it
I m gonna try
Ain t no use to hang your head and cry

Turn it loose; don t hold back
Got to set your spirit free
Turn it loose; listen to me, children
It s the best kind of remedy
Turn it loose; you got the power
That s the way it s got to be
Turn it loose; get on board
It s just for people like you and me
