Turn the girl loose! Let her speak for herself
The hounds are on the track, they won't catch nobody
The hounds are on the track, I don't really care
Turn the girl loose! I won't touch nobody
Turn the girl loose! Let her out of your heart
She's calling out across the lacquered ocean
She's calling out, hear her cry for help?

Turn that girl loose! She won't touch nobody
She ain't your mamma, she ain't your sister
Let her out of your heart
Turn that girl loose! I won't touch nobody
She ain't your lover, she ain't your brother
Let her out of jail
Just turn that girl loose! I won't hurt nobody, I swear
Let her out, let her out
Let her out, let her out of jail

You're hanging out and you're sniffing the ground for some new blood
Don't ever get careless and don't leave the keys in the door
I found her crying and helpless, we made a quick getaway
She's here to tell you she don't want to see you no more

Turn that girl loose! I won't hurt nobody
Turn the girl loose! Let her speak for herself
Put her on the rack, put  her in seclusion
When you turned your back, I got the keys to her heart
She's calling out across the lacquered ocean
She's crying, crying out for help

Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Let her speak for herself
Let her speak for herself
Let her out of your heart
