Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some got it wrong, there's thunder but no rain
And a violent need to be dancin' on every face
The more a place sleeps the rougher the spirit
Put your ear down to the ground and you can almost hear it
[Verse 2]
I wanna crawl right out of my skin
Go back in time, cakewalk and ripped fringe
I want solitude, don't wanna be alone
Wanna put down roots, wanna be a rolling stone
Hey, hey, daddy, I got those shakedown blues
Hey, hey, daddy, I know you feel it too
[Verse 3]
Speakeasy queen some place far away
Typewriter on my bar just like Hemingway
I gotta get way gone from this tumbleweed town
Ain't no use in talking when I'm almost out
[Verse 4]
I wanna crawl right out of my skin
Go back in time, cakewalk and ripped fringe
I want solitude, don't wanna be alone
Wanna put down roots, wanna be a rolling stone
Hey, hey daddy, I got those shakedown blues
Hey, hey, daddy, I know you feel it too
[Verse 5]
Need a shakedown
Shakedown
We need a shakedown
Shakedown
Oh, shakedown
Shakedown
You need a shakedown
Shakedown
Ooh, shakedown
Shakedown
Shakedown
