[Verse 1]
Sun got it wrong, there's thunder but no rain
[?] violently [?] dancin' on every face
The more a place sleeps the rougher the spirit
Put your ear down to the ground and you can almost hear it

[Chorus]
I wanna crawl right out of my skin
Go back in time, cakewalk and ripped fringe
I want solitude, don't wanna be alone
Wanna put down roots, wanna be a rolling stone
Hey hey daddy, I got those shakedown blues
Hey hey daddy, I know you feel it too

[Verse 2]
Speakeasy queen some place faraway
Typewriter on my bar just like Hemingway
I gotta get way gone from this tumbleweed town
Ain't no use in talking when I'm almost out

[Chorus]
I wanna crawl right out of my skin
Go back in time, cakewalk and ripped fringe
I want solitude, don't wanna be alone
Wanna put down roots, wanna be a rolling stone
Hey hey daddy, I got those shakedown blues
Hey hey daddy, I know you feel it too
[Outro]
Shakedown
Shakedown
We need a shakedown
Shakedown
Oh, shakedown
Shakedown
You need a shakedown
Shakedown
Ooh, shakedown
Shakedown
Shakedown
