It would be better to wake up and hear the birds a'singing
And the fishes a-swimming in a creek
Than to hear the sirens ringing
My flats a-shaking beneath my feet
Flats shaking beneath my feet
I got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move
ย
I wish I had a little garden where I could grow some food
Not a backyard full of garbage and a head that's full of the blues
Oh, means I'd love to see the sunshine, I'd love to see the moon
Not the smog and air pollution, too many people, too little room
I got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move
ย
In the city just listen (Just listen)
Listen to the horns a-blowing
Woo-hoo, beep-beep, woo-hoo, beep-beep
It drives me crazy
Tell me (Tell me, ooh)
There's a place where corn is growing
With shade trees and cool breeze
And I can just relate
To peaceful days and quiet nights
Away from all the city lights
Diesel trucks and meter maids
Don't forget to draw your shades
Freeways and buildings blocking your view
(Nothing in the paper but bad news)
Lord, I got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move
Yeah, I'm moving on out
In the city just listen (Just listen)
Listen to the horns a-blowing
Woo-hoo, beep-beep, woo-hoo, beep-beep
It drives me crazy
Tell me (Tell me, ooh)
There's a place where corn is growing
With shade trees and cool breeze
And I can just relate
To peaceful days and quiet nights
Away from all the city lights
Diesel trucks and meter maids
Don't forget to draw your shades
Freeways and buildings blocking your view
(Nothing in the paper but bad news)
Lord, I got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move
I got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose)
So I'll just pack up my bag and move
(Lord, Lord, got to get out of here)
I got the shaky flat blues (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move
Thank you (Thank you)
Thank you so much (Thank you)
