How much rope you gonna give yourself?
How much slack do you needIn order not to hang yourself
up on the street?You say, you learned your lessonBut
I know that that ain't trueWhen I see that feeling
come over youBut I don't blame you,
baby, 'cause it really ain't no useI believe that you
believe, you're searching for the truthI don't know
what hold that rounder downtown has on youBut keep
on shaking, baby, till you shake yourself looseI'm
not running away from trouble,
I'm walking away from an accidentInvolving a personality
double and a hole with a head in itAin't nothing I
can say, ain't nothing I can doWhen I see that feeling
come over youBut I don't blame you,
baby, 'cause it really ain't no useI believe that you
believe, you're searching for the truthI don't know
what hold that rounder downtown has on youBut keep
on shaking, baby, till you shake yourself loose
