It's the Lacs
Big & Rich

Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it.
Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
Shake it baby shake it.
Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
(Look at that right there)
Shake it baby shake it.

Oh now there she go, she might have done something in.
She holler way across the bar, say baby hit me again.
I need to go another round and party all night long.
Tip the band a couple hundred just to keep rockin' on.
She revved up, fired off, like the Fourth of July.
She go to shakin' it around to get a wanderin' eye.
And I don't know bout how they do it where you from but son,
Them girls out in the country they be gettin' it done.

I ain't never seen no country girl shake, shake it like that.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it, said,
I ain't never seen no country girl shake, shake it like that.
Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
Shake it baby shake it. (shake it like that)
Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
Shake it baby shake it. (shake it like that)

Watch you drop it down, get low,
Round and round, here she go,
Pop, lock, and hit the flo'
Country girl original.
Shake it, shake it, shake it, til the sweat pops out.
A little shine up in the hind.
Know what I'm talkin' about.
And you know I can't believe exactly what I see.
She lookin' better than them heffers on CMT.
They call her shotgun Jenny, cause shes quick on the draw.
Got me twitchin' in my britches with her hand on the wall.
Baby doll, with no bra, man I guess it got lost.
Look at the size of them thighs, now I'm callin' the hoss.
Let's go deep up in the creek before I'm bringin' 'em back.
'Cause I ain't never seen a country girl shake it like that.

I ain't never seen no country girl shake, shake it like that.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it, said,
I ain't never seen no country girl shake, shake it like that.
Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
Shake it baby shake it. (shake it like that)
Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
Shake it baby shake it. (shake it like that)

Oh just a ways down a shady gravel road. (come on)
Yeah there's a jukebox jumpin' on a hardwood floor.
And the beers stay ice damn cold. (that's right)
There's a neon sign that's a blinkin'
Big & Rich'll be playin' tonight.
And them old Lac boys and a bunch of country girls,
And they shakin' everything that they got, just right.

I ain't never seen no country girl shake, shake it like that.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it, said,
I ain't never seen no country girl shake, shake it like that.
Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
Shake it baby shake it. (shake it like that)
Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
I ain't never seen no country girl shake, shake it like that.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it.
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby shake it, said,
I ain't never seen no country girl shake, shake it like that.




Shake it (shake it), shake it (shake it)
Shake it baby shake it. (shake it like that)

Just a couple o' good ol boys.. 😊 [and PROUD to be "country"-- but mostly, they are American!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Non-self- hating, real MEN, grateful, NEVER ashamed, or cowardly, or "embarrased" to be Americans! .... [
We all need to know who we are, how freaking blessed and lucky we are have been born in the Promise Land.
My handsome husband was born into a second world country, where his indiginous peeps are always being persecuted, and held down in a variety of ways, and have been, for HUNDREDS of years!
My family and I LOVE the lyrics of Ford's song!
Inspiring...Empowering!!! AMERICAN, BABY!!!!!
LOVE IT!!!

It's funny to me to hear people say "this is not country". I remember my dad saying the very same thing about Hank Jr. I guess like all things "country" changes with the times. Personally I enjoy The Lacs music. If it's not country so be it. Either you like it or not.
