Lyrics
[verse]
Woke up heavy, dragging feet
Every hour feels like defeat
Ghosts of yesterday still creep
Underneath my restless sleep
[verse]
Tried to bury what I fear
Still it whispers loud and clear
Every step a heavy weight
Carried far too long, too late
[chorus]
Gonna shake it out, shake the devil off my back
Gonna shake it out, find the light I lack
Every heavy hour, every darkened door
I'll shake it out and dance some more
[verse]
Drums are pounding, drums arrive
Watch the fire keep alive
Every burden starts to break
Watch the dawn begin to wake
[chorus]
Gonna shake it out, shake the devil off my back
Gonna shake it out, find the light I lack
Every heavy hour, every darkened door
I'll shake it out and dance some more
[bridge]
Voice is rising, loud and free
Nothing left to carry me
Down into the dark again
I'll shake it out until the end
[chorus]
Gonna shake it out, shake the devil off my back
Gonna shake it out, find the light I lack
Every heavy hour, every darkened door
I'll shake it out and dance some more
