Dirty Dave Osti - Shakedown lyrics

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.
