Michael Beatty: Lyrics & Listen

Slapback

(Michael Beatty)


A shimmy shake

To lose your blues

You step outside to find

(Ya know) This living is for real


And everyone

Looks at you 

As if you are for sale 

(And ya know) It’s just a state of mind


Tonight I’m feeling so alive

I’m gonna get on down

In this dive with you

Chase away/lose the blues


Shake your shimmy

Shake your thing

Work it out until we hear

Sweet Georgia sing

A little bit of rock-n-roll

To take your weary 

Aching soul away

Slapback blues

For lack of day


Thrift Shop Chic

Let it fly

Crazy all the way

(Put on) Your native funk and flash


Run around

Make the scene

Ain’t nothing too surreal

(It’s on) For Mikey and the boys


Tonight I’m feeling so alive

I’m gonna get on down

In this dive with you

Chase away/lose the blues


Shake your shimmy

Shake your thing

Work it out until we hear

Sweet Georgia sing

A little bit of rock-n-roll

To take your weary 

Aching soul away

Slapback blues

For lack of day


Slapback for lack

Of day
