Throwing the Goats

Something wrong with the rider
Bless his high lonesome heart
But I guess this whole wide world
Is always pulling apart
As he was dynamite fishing
For some compliments
Off the banks of old Lake Providence
For some unknown actress
Such a tender soul
But I’ll always shake back for a speaking role
They fully praying for some kind of break
He freed that rag and pillar gonna shake
Shake shake
Shake shake shake
Shake shake
Shake shake shake
I am a bull of a man
And I cannot be stopped
Until I’m stabbed in a ring
On account of that china shop
My baby’s backstage
And she’s higher than I am
We got all the integrity that money can buy
And if you can’t audition, mama
You cannot act
That’s a goat-throwing truth, fully natural fact
If you got it we need you, if you don’t we do not
Which is already more time than most people got
Shake shake
Shake shake shake
Shake shake
Shake shake shake
I have broken a handful
Of hearts in my time
Had a handful of people
Try to break into mine
Seen that wine covered carpet
Rolled up against the house
With the tall grass covering all my clothes thrown out, I tell you
Sometimes love takes away
What you think it’s bringing
Take my new gal, for instance, she knows everything
And she says this time it’s different like it always was
Something is changing like it never does
Shake shake
Shake shake shake
Shake shake
Shake shake shake
(Instrumental break)
Shake Shake
Shake Shake Shake
Shake Shake
Shake Shake Shake
Through the neon she catches his wandering eye
He can see from her makeup how she’d started to cry
So he tells her he thought that she was excellent
So she pays him a dyn-o-mite compliment
She said, your eyes shine like, oh hell, I don’t know
Seem like eyes are always shining like something I suppose
Lets just say that it’s all of those, baby
Your eyes shine like all that shake
Shake shake
Shake shake shake
Shake shake
Shake shake shake
They shine like diamonds
They shine like stars
They shine like pools of water
Shine like brand new cars
Shine like diamonds
Shine like stars
Shine like pools
Shine like brand new cars
