Song | Shake the Foundation |
Artist | The Band of Heathens |
Album | Sunday Morning Record |
I went down to see my baby | |
She was working real late | |
I thought I could surprise her | |
But I'm always behind the eight | |
She was pouring highball sevens | |
As I looked across the room | |
She was giving out her number | |
She played me for a fool | |
Gonna shake the foundation | |
Everybody make a sound | |
Shake the foundation | |
Gonna shake it to the ground | |
Shake it to the ground | |
I went down to see a doctor | |
For this pain down in my chest | |
An empty broken feeling | |
She made my heart a mess | |
He said that he could help me | |
But I had to make a change | |
He said to put down all your sorrow | |
Then you get back up again | |
Get back up again | |
Shake the foundation | |
Everybody make a sound | |
Shake the foundation | |
Gonna Shake it to the ground | |
Shake it to the Ground | |
Wrote a letter to the governor | |
But he was putting on a show | |
Just kissing all the babies | |
He’ll never tell you no | |
You can build yourself a castle | |
With walls of solid stone | |
But it’ll never do you no good | |
If there ain't nobody home | |
Ain’t nobody home | |
Shake the foundation | |
Everybody make a sound | |
Shake the foundation | |
Gonna Shake it to the ground | |
Shake it to the Ground |
I went down to see my baby | |
She was working real late | |
I thought I could surprise her | |
But I' m always behind the eight | |
She was pouring highball sevens | |
As I looked across the room | |
She was giving out her number | |
She played me for a fool | |
Gonna shake the foundation | |
Everybody make a sound | |
Shake the foundation | |
Gonna shake it to the ground | |
Shake it to the ground | |
I went down to see a doctor | |
For this pain down in my chest | |
An empty broken feeling | |
She made my heart a mess | |
He said that he could help me | |
But I had to make a change | |
He said to put down all your sorrow | |
Then you get back up again | |
Get back up again | |
Shake the foundation | |

Just kissing all the babies | |
He' ll never tell you no | |
You can build yourself a castle | |
With walls of solid stone | |
But it' ll never do you no good | |
If there ain' t nobody home | |
Ain' t nobody home | |
Shake the foundation | |
Everybody make a sound | |
Shake the foundation | |
Gonna Shake it to the ground | |
Shake it to the Ground |
