Nitty Gritty - Earthquake Lyrics

I got myself a sweetheart

A real good steady job

A house up on the hillside

Who's price keeps goin' up



Soakin' in my hot tub

Life's workin' out just right

But then the earth starts shakin'

Here comes the afterlife



Earthquake, earthquake

Ridin' hell's emotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Churnin' up the fear



That earthquake, earthquake

Devil's locomotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Gonna run me outta here



There's no head on this chicken

When the ground is on the rise

I flee in all directions

And I pray toward the skies



I've never been a coward

Or that extremely wise

But it doesn't take a genius

To know it's time to say goodbye



To that earthquake, earthquake

Ridin' hell's emotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Churnin' up the fear



That earthquake, earthquake

The devil's locomotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Gonna run me outta here



I'm packin' up and goin' to North Dakota

Well, I heard it's freezin' cold but I don't care

I'd rather get that frostbite on my fingers

Than end up crushed beneath my Frigidaire



So forgive me if I'm out of sorts

I'm really not to blame

The fault lies with Andreas

Oh, she's messin' up my brain



I love this sunny paradise

But hate it's rock and roll

Oh, I can't stand the ups and downs

I really gotta go



Earthquake, earthquake

Ridin' hell's emotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Churnin' up the fear



That earthquake, earthquake

Devil's locomotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Gonna run me outta here



That earthquake, earthquake

That earthquake, earthquake

Earthquake, earthquake

That earthquake, earthquake

Oh, I'm gettin' out of here



That earthquake, that earthquake

That earthquake, oh, I'm gettin' out of here

(That earthquake)

Bye, bye, bye, bye

(That earthquake)

That earthquake, oh, I'm gettin' out of here
