Always followed my Heart-- always led me astray,
Felt the world was made to twist and turn to go my own way
A reckless boy, my Momma's favorite child
Well I broke her heart so many times, she just got old and died.
Oh I'm a reckless man,
Oh I'm a World Shaker ya.
Crystal blue eyes, you never seen a pair like mine
A wink and a smile could get you in and out in the nick of time
But time goes by, you lose your precious charms with age
Now I can't seem to hold my own on this same troubled stage
Oh, I'm a wanted man
Oh, I'm a World Shaker ya.
Well i work fourteen hours on a southern road gang in the heat of the day
At night I lie awake and wonder how i can wink ten years away
Bosses all around me trying to break my spirit trying to keep me down
Well, I'd rather die young than be old, beaten and rolled into the ground
Oh, I'm a World Shaker ya
Oh, I'm a World Shaker ya
I felt the cold bullet pierce my side
Felt my legs get weak as my veins bleed dry
Always met my troubles head on so i guess it was a matter of time
If I'm going to meet the devil today boys, it's going to be with a smile
Oh, I'm a dying man
Oh, I'm a World Shaker ya
Oh, I'm World Shaker ya
