Something has got a hold
a hold on me
a hold on me
and where I'd like to be
I'm shaking sailors for their directions
I'm shaking farmers for their seeds
I shake my fist up toward the heavens
now I'm shaking at the knees
aww man, I'm all shook up
and shaking at the knees
and a quiet evangelist
shook his head and looked at me
he shook his head and looked at me
he shook his head and he said
tell the people that I told you to tell them that I said nice things
and he said
tell the people that I told you to tell them that I said nice things
and I did
I'm shaking sailors for their directions
I'm shaking farmers for their seeds
I shake my fist up toward the heavens
now I'm shaking at the knees
aww man, I'm all shook up
and shaking at the knees
and a quiet evangelist
shook his head and looked at me
he shook his head and looked at me
he shook his head and he said
tell the people that I told you to tell them that I said nice things
he said
tell the people that I told you to tell them that I said nice things
and I did
