Lyrics:

I got hell hounds on my trail
Bad luck and trouble ride on my tail
I got rattlesnake blood runnin through my veins
You turn around and I'm gone again

People know me ever where I go
Men don't understand but the little girls know
I pick em up and I put em down
It makes em nervous when I move around

I got the shake I got the rattlesnake shake
I got the shake I got the rattlesnake shake
I got the get-goin fever in my travelin bones
I got the rattlesnake shake and I gotta move on

Been everwhere and back again
I need to move I'm a movin' man
I got highway fever I'm a rollin stone
The shirt on my back is all own

I got the shake I got the rattlesnake shake
I got the shake I got the rattlesnake shake
I got the get-goin fever in my travelin bones
I got the rattlesnake shake and I gotta move on

guitar

People know me ever where I go
Men don't understand but the little girls know
I pick em up and I put em down
It makes em nervous when I move around

I got the shake I got the rattlesnake shake
I got the shake I got the rattlesnake shake
I got the get-goin fever in my travelin bones
I got the rattlesnake shake and I gotta move on

I got hell hounds on my trail
Bad luck and trouble ride on my tail
I got rattlesnake blood runnin through my veins
You turn around and I'm gone again

I got the shake I got the rattlesnake shake
I got the shake I got the rattlesnake shake
I got the get-goin fever in my travelin bones
I got the rattlesnake shake and I gotta move on
(repeat 2 times)

Can't stop thinking of the Lamborghine and the Jag racing en Speed Zone when I hear this song - I love it

I will always remember Omar's dad, Mr. Henry, dancing whenever Omar played this song. Mr. Henry was well up in age the last time I saw him dancing to this at a casino in Vicksburg but he was hanging in there. Kent "Omar" introduced me to the blues and Allman Brothers Band back in 1970 in his garage apartment in Summit, Mississippi. Good times.

@tomassweden "Ha Ha Ha", "Sucker this" Lambo downshifts, and walks from the Jag. Alec, I just thought of something, and all I want you to do is answer yes or no........ You don't have anything planned for after this race do ya?

[redmr2na]

@njfenger Neither can I. I will always associate this song with that preticular scene in that movie.
