Il testo della Shakedown

Got a single baby back rib slow cookin on a water heater pilot light
Got a bag full of scrappin cans i collected overnight
Got a big bad tooth on the underside man it's gettin hard to chew
Yeah the best part of a vagrant life is that you ain't got much to lose

Yeah there musta been a breakdown
Way down where the crossroads meet
But theres gonna be a shakedown
Shakedown on salvation street.

I got seven hundred cigarette buts in a big ol' jelly jar
Windshield wiper violin bow and a two string old guitar
I went downtown to the blues club say i wanna book a show
A teenage girl with a nose ring on say "you old folks got to go"

There musta been some kinda breakdown
Way down where the crossroads meet
But there's gonna be a shakedown
Shakedown on salvation street
Shakedown.

Yeah there musta been some kinda breakdown
Way down where the crossroads meet
But there's gonna be a shakedown
Shakedown on salvation street

Had a day job with a chainsaw yeah they got me diggin out a stump
Had a rusty old pickup truck breakin down every time i hit a bump
I got me a mean blues riff even some may call it rock
I'm a blues man with a fishin pole but the boat just left the dock
Yeah there musta been some kinda breakdown
Way down where those crossroads meet
But there's gonna be a shakedown
Shakedown on salvation street
Theres gonna be a shakedown
Shakedown on salvation street
Shakedown.
