The Shake
The Elms
When the week is done and the evening sun
Is sinkin' back into the hills
Well, the neon lights start flickerin' on
And the roadhouse starts to fill
You can bet your ass by ten o'clock
It'll be all that you can take
To squeeze inside with the girls and guys
Who come out to do the shake
Shake it 'til you can't shake it out no more
Do it 'til your feet come off the floor
Put a little shake in your rattle and roll
Shake it 'til you can't shake it out no more
The air is thick with the sweat and smoke
Comin' off everybody's skin
And the rhythm grows in people's bones
Like it's comin' from within
Don't come out here lookin' just to chill
Or to sit down and take a break
The only thing to try 'round here tonight
Is get up and do the shake
Shake it 'til you can't shake it out no more
Do it 'til your feet come off the floor
Put a little shake in your rattle and roll
Shake it 'til you can't shake it out no more
We're all the same when we come out here
Don't matter who your daddy is
What side of the street that you grew up on
Don't count for anything
Come down alone, or with a friend in tow
Just get down here for god's sake
Bring folding money and a pack of smokes
And get down here and shake
Shake it out
