Shakedown Lyrics - Singles - Dirty Dave Osti

Got a single baby back rib slow cookin on a water heater pilot light 

got a bag full of scrappin cans I collected overnight 

got a big bad tooth on the underside man it's gettin hard to chew 

yeah the best part of a vagrant life is that you ain't got much to lose 

yeah there musta been a breakdown 

way down where the crossroads meet 

but theres gonna be a shakedown 

shakedown on salvation street. 

I got seven hundred cigarette buts in a big ol' jelly jar 

windshield wiper violin bow and a two string old guitar 

I went downtown to the blues club say I wanna book a show 

a teenage girl with a nose ring on say "you old folks got to go" 

There musta been some kinda breakdown 

way down where the crossroads meet 

but there's gonna be a shakedown 

shakedown on salvation street 

shakedown. 

Yeah there musta been some kinda breakdown 

way down where the crossroads meet 

but there's gonna be a shakedown 

shakedown on salvation street 

Had a day job with a chainsaw yeah they got me diggin out a stump 

had a rusty old pickup truck breakin down every time I hit a bump 

I got me a mean blues riff even some may call it rock 

I'm a blues man with a fishin pole but the boat just left the dock 

yeah there musta been some kinda breakdown 

way down where those crossroads meet 

but there's gonna be a shakedown 

shakedown on salvation street 

theres gonna be a shakedown 

shakedown on salvation street 

shakedown.
