[Verse 1]
I woke up mean
With dust on my boots
Had a red-hot plan
And a pocket full of truth
You played me cool
With that crooked grin
Now the night kicked hard
And I’m kicking back in
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you feel that roll?
That old-time sting
One more turn of the wheel
And the whole world swings
[Chorus]
Take the back door shuffle
Take the back door shuffle
I’m gone before you call my name
Take the back door shuffle
Take the back door shuffle
Leave your sorry in the rain
[Verse 2]
Your words came sweet
Like a poisoned glass
I drank too deep
Now I’m breaking fast
Got a scarlet sky
On a two-lane run
Heard my own heart howl
Like a shotgun gun
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you feel that roll?
That old-time sting
One more turn of the wheel
And the whole world swings
[Chorus]
Take the back door shuffle
Take the back door shuffle
I’m gone before you call my name
Take the back door shuffle
Take the back door shuffle
Leave your sorry in the rain
[Bridge]
Hah!
I been burned, I been bent
I been dragged through the grit
Still I strut that line
With a devil’s grip
[Chorus]
Take the back door shuffle
Take the back door shuffle
I’m gone before you call my name
Take the back door shuffle
Take the back door shuffle
Leave your sorry in the rain
[Outro]
Yeah, I’m gone
Gone, gone, gone
Take the back door shuffle
