Shake Yourself Loose Lyrics - Burnett T-bone

How much rope you gonna give yourself? 

How much slack do you need 

In order not to hang yourself up on the street? 

You say, you learned your lesson 

But I know that that ain't true 

When I see that feeling come over you 

But I don't blame you, baby, 'cause it really ain't no use 

I believe that you believe, you're searching for the truth 

I don't know what hold that rounder downtown has on you 

But keep on shaking, baby, till you shake yourself loose 

I'm not running away from trouble, I'm walking away from an accident 

Involving a personality double and a hole with a head in it 

Ain't nothing I can say, ain't nothing I can do 

When I see that feeling come over you 

But I don't blame you, baby, 'cause it really ain't no use 

I believe that you believe, you're searching for the truth 

I don't know what hold that rounder downtown has on you 

But keep on shaking, baby, till you shake yourself loose
