From the recording Shakin’ A Leg
Lyrics
VERSE
Growin’ up in the south, we had plenty to choose
From the different kinds of music we could listen to
There was country, pop, rock and roll, soul, R&B, and blues
Put it all together and here’s the news
CHORUS
(Yeah) We got the rockabilly blues way down in our shoes
Yeah, the rockabilly blues; got nothin’ to lose
It’s got the kind of rhythm we sure can use
There ain’t nothin’ about it make you wanta snooze
We got the rockabilly, baby, rockabilly blues
VERSE
Country make you want to cry tears in your beer
Rock and roll flat put you in another gear
R&B and soul let you try a little tenderness
Blues show you how to feel the back side of happiness
Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/BRIDGE
Now all of that might sound confusing
But we knew exactly what it meant
Hell, we’re still havin’ fun winning and losing
If you want to know why, baby, here’s a hint
Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
Yeah, we got the rockabilly, baby, rockabilly blues, uh huh
We got the rockabilly, baby, rockabilly blues
