Otis Rush Lyrics

Otis Rush has always been one of my favourites. One of his songs "Cut You Loose" from the Cold Day in Hell album is a particular favourite, but the chorus has me stumped. It is:

I'm gonna throw up both of my hands
I'm gonna holler "what's the use"
??? ???
Oh yea, gonna cut you loose

Can anybody spare me from pulling out whatever hair I have left?

going to come home in the evening,
oh, yeah, goint to cut you loose

(the way I always sang it, anyway, and I think it's correct to the original Cobra recording -- on one of those later remakes, though, he sings something like, "I ought to, but I, oh yeah, cut you loose." Strange dude is Mr. Otis.)

Thanks alot. It was the second version which had me stumped, but if there are words that actually make sense, so much the better.
