[Verse 1] Got a hole in my pocket And a crease in my shoe Got a long list of troubles But I ain't readin' it through The piano's talkin' The drummer's on fire That old bass man Just pulled the whole room higher [Pre-Chorus] Let the door swing wide Let the good times roll Leave your worries outside We're gonna shake some soul [Chorus] Shake the dust, shake the dust Get your feet off the floor When the horns come crashing You can't sit still anymore Shake the dust, shake the dust Let the whole room swing Ain't got much in my pocket But I've got a song to sing [Verse 2] There's a man in the corner With a hat pulled low He's been watching the band Like he's got nowhere to go Then the trumpet hits him Like a shot of cheap gin He straightens his collar And starts grinning again [Pre-Chorus] Let the piano pound Let the backbeat bite If you've been carrying trouble Drop it here tonight [Chorus] Shake the dust, shake the dust Get your feet off the floor When the horns come crashing You can't sit still anymore Shake the dust, shake the dust Let the whole room swing Ain't got much in my pocket But I've got a song to sing [Bridge] One, two, three— Don't count the years Don't count the money Don't count the tears The bass says go The drums say now And that trumpet's got something To teach us how [Guitar / Instrumental Solo] [Final Chorus] Shake the dust, shake the dust Come on, one more time Let the piano roll And let that rhythm climb Shake the dust, shake the dust Till the morning bell rings Ain't got much in my pocket But I've got a song to sing [Outro] Shake it loose Let it go That's the way The old band knows
