Jukebox Possession (The Dance Floor Took Me)

My brother said “Come on, just one little spin”

So I slicked back my hair and I followed him in

I stood by the wall where the shadows play

Thinkin’ I’d slip out the very same way

But that old jukebox started to scream

Like it cracked open some wild dream

My feet got hot, my heart went fast

Like the floor had reached up and grabbed me at last

It ain’t me, no it ain’t me

It’s that rhythm settin’ me free

Shoop-shoop shakin’ right through my bones

That beat done turned me into somethin’ I don’t own

I was shy as a boy till the music said “Go!”

Now I’m burnin’ up that ol’ dance floor

Girls stepped back like they made a space

Like they knew I was catchin’ that flame in place

I twisted and turned like I’d done it before

Like I’d been born right there on that floor

The band was grinnin’, the crowd went loud

Like thunder rollin’ through that crowd

I wasn’t thinkin’, I wasn’t still

Just a heartbeat breakin’ my will

It ain’t me, no it ain’t me

It’s that rhythm settin’ me free

Shoop-shoop shakin’ right through my bones

That beat done turned me into somethin’ I don’t own

I was shy as a boy till the music said “Go!”

Now I’m burnin’ up that ol’ dance floor

Word got around like wildfire news

“Some quiet kid got rhythm in his shoes”

Next thing I know there’s a circle drawn wide

Like they’re waitin’ for lightning to strike inside

I tried to step back, tried to cool down slow

But that ol’ jukebox started to glow

Same song comin’ back for more

Like it knew my name on that dance floor

It ain’t me, no it ain’t me

It’s that rhythm settin’ me free

Shoop-shoop shakin’ right through my soul

That beat don’t ask—it just takes control

I was lost in the wall till the music said “Go!”

Now I’m burnin’ up that ol’ dance floor

Then it stopped… just like a snap

And I stood there blinkin’ in the clap

Red in the face, head hangin’ low

Thinkin’ I’d slip out slow

But the bass went boom, the drummer hit back

Like “boy you ain’t done with that track”

[Final Chorus (big finish)[

It ain’t me, no it ain’t me

It’s that rhythm settin’ me free

Whole room movin’ like a rollin’ tide

And I’m just ridin’ where the beat decides

I was shy as a boy till the music said “Go!”

Now I’m the king of that ol’ dance floor glow
