Lookin' for some shelter, lookin' for some peace
The fire in the furnace is burnin' like the beast
My pants have all been pressed, and all my collars neatly creased
My ride bummin' thumb is up
'Cause now the hounds have been released
Cloud around my head, leaves beneath my feet
Fever in my fingertips and grease between my teeth
Shakin' when I wake up, keep a-heavin' just to breathe
Chubby cherub up above me, heathen fiend asleep beneath
I dont know where I'm goin'
Only where I've been
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
Leavin' in the evenin'
Good girl, don't you grieve
But babe, while I'm away, you keep your secrets safe with me
Oh, do you need the proof or mama, do you just believe?
Or do you shake the hand of man with evil up his sleeve?
Can ya understand?
Stand behind your man
Might not always do right but he do just what he can
Can't tell where he'll wind up when he come around the bend
Oh, but you bet when he get there, gonna shake that bush again
I dont know where I'm goin'
Only where I've been
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
Shake it baby
♪
(Yeah, shake that bush again)
(Shake it, shake it)
Man is just a man
He can leave it, he can take it
But baby, shake that tail just like a rattlesnake can shake it
Ignominious decision, but somebody got to make it
Lord, I know I made a promise but I'm gonna have to break it
Lookin' for some shelter, lookin' for some peace
The fire in the furnace be burnin' like the beast
Ah yes, I'm headed west when the weary leave the east
There's a new broom near my tombstone
Sweep it clean for the deceased
I dont know where I'm goin'
Only where I've been
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
(Whoo) Shake that bush again
