Lyrics Sam Riggs – Wake The Dead

Text:

Can you feel the beat
Underneath your feet like a freight train coming
Bringing on the heat
Crowd turned up and the kick drum thumping

Ain’t no time to think
Bout a fifty hour week and the tap we’re running
Two more rounds a drinks
Got the gas in the tank get the pistons a pumping

Oh… don’t hold back just let it go
Oh… stomping out holes in a hardwood floor
Shake the ground till ya wake the dead
Shake the ground till ya wake the dead

Trouble walks in the door
Hit ya hard like a jar a white lightning
Steps out on the floor
She’s shaking that thing in perfect timing
Three shots down
Feeling ten feet tall gonna steal a dance
You’re spinning her around
She’s looking at you like ya got a chance

Oh… don’t hold back just let it go
Oh… stomping out holes in a hardwood floor
Shake the ground till ya wake the dead
Shake the ground till ya wake the dead

Just put your hands in the air and sing from the heart
If you really had a home in a trailer park
Ya see it doesn’t matter where ya got your start
The only thing that really matters is ya make your mark
And giving it all you got till you drop’s
Gonna take you from the bottom on the way to the top

And everybody who stands up and says they made
You are always gonna be the ones that try to break you
But damn it ain’t about your need to win
In the end success is the best revenge
Ain’t about the money at the end of the day
Cause everyone I give a damn about’s at the front of the stage

Getting it while we’re young
Any way we can beg steal or borrow
Living on the run
And partying like there’s no tomorrow
Burning up the night
And shaking it down till the break a dawn
Everybody’s feeling right
Ain’t shutting it down till the bottle’s gone (gone gone gone gone gone)

Oh… don’t hold back just let it go
Oh… stomping out holes in a hardwood floor
Shake the ground till ya wake the dead
Shake the ground till ya wake the dead
Shake the ground till ya wake the dead
Shake the ground till ya wake the dead
