lyrics
You used to be my sweetness, called me sugar babe
Do you remember all the sweet, moony lovin' we made
At the pond by Abilene
And all them nightcrawlers in that old Prince Albert can
Hey, but...
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
You'd shake it in the morning, shake it at midnight
Shake it all day long 'til I lose my appetite
For barbecue ribs, black-eyed peas
Pan-fried catfish, even rice with red beans
Hey, but...
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
The sweetness came up on us, took us by surprise
I remember the look in your eyes when you said let it shine
Like sweet red wine
Like a river in the moonlight, like a catfish on the line
Hey, but...
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
So now that I'm lost in your long, dark hair
Norma Jean. you have left me way out here in an old Ford pickup,
No beer and cheese on ice
With a beacon on my bobber and no catfish on the line
Hey, but...
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
Do you remember all the sweet, moony lovin' we made
At the pond by Abilene
And all them nightcrawlers in that old Prince Albert can
Hey, but...
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
You'd shake it in the morning, shake it at midnight
Shake it all day long 'til I lose my appetite
For barbecue ribs, black-eyed peas
Pan-fried catfish, even rice with red beans
Hey, but...
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
The sweetness came up on us, took us by surprise
I remember the look in your eyes when you said let it shine
Like sweet red wine
Like a river in the moonlight, like a catfish on the line
Hey, but...
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
So now that I'm lost in your long, dark hair
Norma Jean. you have left me way out here in an old Ford pickup,
No beer and cheese on ice
With a beacon on my bobber and no catfish on the line
Hey, but...
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
You don't shake it like you used to anymore
