shake the foundation

Lyrics

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
