Shake The Foundation

(album: Sunday Morning Record - 2013)

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
