Shake That Bush Again Looking for some shelter Looking for some peace The fire in the furnace Is burning like the beast My pants have all been pressed And all my collars neatly creased My ride bumming 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 Shaking when I wake up Keep a'heaving just to breathe Chubby cherub up above me Heathen fiend asleep beneath I don't know Where I go Only where I've been Shake that bush again (x4) Leaving in the evening Good girl don't you greive But babe while I'm away You keep your secrets safe for me Or do you need the proof Or momma do you just believe Or do you shake the hand of man With evil up his sleeve? Can you understand Stand behind your man Might not always do right But he'll 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 don't know Where I go Only where I've been Shake that bush again (x4) Shake it baby 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 gotta make it Lord I know I made a promise But I'm gonna have to break it Looking for some shelter Looking for some peace The fire in the furnace Been burning like the beast I guess I'm heading west When the weary leave the east There's a new broom near my tombstone Sweep it clean for the deceased I don't know Where I go Only where I've been Shake that bush again (x8)
