You got a perfect way Things that you play Cut clearly Like a knife to the bone Mama's calling you You'll never get back home You'll never get back home You'll never get back home Cool operator with a rattlesnake kiss Angelic poses that never miss Reverberation shuffle to the bone Shake the world to the ground Memphis hip swing to the guitar sound All the time all the time Baby get it while it's good All around the world Sure do need guitar Shake the world to the ground Memphis hip swing to the guitar sound You gotta perfect way all the things that you play Cut clearly like a knife to the bone Mama's callin' you You'll never get back home Shake the world to the ground Memphis hip swing to the guitar sound Shake out | |
