Footloose
Shelton Lyrics

I been working so hard
I have been working very hard lately.

I'm punching my card
I am clocking in and out of work every day.

Eight hours for what
What is the point of working for eight hours a day?

Oh, tell me what I got
What am I getting out of my hard work?

I get this feeling
I have a sense that I am being held back.

That times just holding me down
I feel like time is keeping me from reaching my potential.

I'll hit the ceiling
If things don't change, I will explode with frustration.

Or else I'll tear up this town
I will not let anything stand in the way of me achieving my goals.

Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose
I need to let go and have fun tonight.

Kick off the Sunday shoes
I need to break free of the rules and conventions that hold me back.

Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
I need someone to help me stand up and take control of my life.

Jack, get back, come on before we crack
We need to act now before we reach our breaking point.

Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
We need to dance and enjoy life to the fullest.

You're playing so cool
You are acting like everything is fine, but I know you are unhappy.

Obeying every rule
You are following all the rules, even when they don't make sense.

Dig way down in your heart
Look deep within yourself to find what truly makes you happy.

You're burning yearning for some
You have a strong desire for something more.

Somebody to tell you
You need someone to give you guidance and support.

That life ain't passing you by
You still have time to make positive changes in your life.

I'm trying to tell you
I want to help you see that you can make a change.

It will if you don't even try
You will never achieve your goals if you don't take action.

You can fly if you'd only
You have the potential to achieve your dreams if you only try.

Oh-wee Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Let's dance and have fun together tonight.

Woah, Milo, come on, come on let's go
Let's get moving and enjoy the night.

We got to turn you around
We need to help you change your way of thinking.

And put your feet on the ground
We need to help you be more grounded and focused.

Now take a hold of your soul
You need to take control of your own life and find your purpose.

I'm turning it loose
I am ready to let go and have fun.

Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Let's dance and forget about all of our problems.

Everybody cut, everybody cut
Let's all dance and have fun together.

(Everybody) everybody cut footloose
Let's all dance and cut loose without any reservations.
