Shake the Dust | Track 13-14 | 1963

[Intro – Count-In & Blast Off] Pete: “One-two-three-four!” (Guitar riff in E explodes. Bass slides under, drums slam the backbeat.) [Verse 1] I’ve been quiet, I’ve been tame, Now I’m burnin’ through my own name. Kick the door, I won’t be framed — I’m gonna shake the dust again! [Verse 2] Every rule’s a chain of lies, Tied around these alibis. If you feel it, real it, trust — Come on baby, shake the dust! [Chorus – Shouted Call-and-Response] Col (screaming): Shake the dust! Gray & Pete: Yeah-yeah-yeah! Col: Shake the dust! Gray & Pete: Right now! Col: I’ve been waitin’, it’s a must — All: Come on baby, shake the dust! [Verse 3] The floorboards crack, the walls turn red, I can’t hear the words I said. The needle’s deep, the record’s bust — Still we’re gonna shake the dust! [Bridge – Instrumental Breakdown] (Bass walks a 12-bar blues line. Guitar solo snarls through a tiny amp. Pete hits snare triplets until the room shakes.) [Final Chorus + Outro – Full-Throttle] Shake the dust! (Yeah!) Shake the dust! (Yeah!) I can’t stop, my heart’s a trust — Come on baby, shake the dust! (Ends on a screamed “YEAH!” and a single crash — tape distorts, fades to silence.)
