Well I got more trouble than I'll ever need
Less money than I know what to do with
Hard living like to bring me to my knees
And I don't even know if I'm gonna through it

Don't tell me that my patience is a virtue
I need some good news, I need some good news
Don't tell me that I've got to be without
I've got to have you, I've got to have some of that

Sweet life
Sweet life
Mine all mine

I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
Got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm for good

Won't the good Lord come and rescue me
High water is only getting higher
Damn devil like to chase me up the three and
He's laughing below while he set it on fire

Don't tell me that the sun come out tomorrow
I need it now that, I need it now, you know it's
Hard living in a permanent shadow
I'm getting out now, I'm getting out, I want that

Sweet life
Sweet life
Mine all mine

I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
Got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm for good

Sweet life
Sweet life
Mine all mine
Sweet life
Sweet life
Mine all mine

I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
Got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
Got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
Got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm for good
