Earthquake - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I got myself a sweetheart

A real good steady job

A house up on the hillside

Who’s price keeps goin' up

Soakin' in my hot tub

Life’s working out just right

But then the earth starts shakin'

Here comes the afterlife

Earthquake, Earthquake

Ridin' hell’s emotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Churning up the fear

That earthquake, earthquake

Devil’s loco-motion

That earthquake, earthquake

Gonna run me outta here

There’s no head on this chicken

When the ground is on the rise

I flee in all directions

And I pray toward the skies

I’ve Never been a coward

Or that extremely wise

But it doesn’t take a genius

T' know it’s time t' say goodbye

Earthquake, Earthquake

Ridin' hell’s emotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Churning up the fear

That earthquake, earthquake

The devil’s loco-motion

That earthquake, earthquake

Gonna run me outta here

I’m packin' up and goin' to north dakota

Well I heard it’s freezing cold but I don’t care

I’d rather get that frostbite on my fingers

Than end up crushed beneath my fridgidaire

So… forgive me if I’m out of sorts

I’m really not to blame

The fault lies with Andreas

Oh she’s messin' up my brain

I love this sunny paradise

But hate it’s rock and roll

Oh I can’t stand the ups and downs

I really gotta go

Earthquake, Earthquake

Ridin' hell’s emotion

That earthquake, earthquake

Churning up the fear

That earthquake, earthquake

Devil’s loco-motion

That earthquake, earthquake

Gonna run me outta here

That earthquake, earthquake

That earthquake, earthquake

Earthquake, earthquake

That earthquake, earthquake

Oh I’m Gettin' out of here

That earthquake, that earthquake

That earthquake, Oh I’m getting out of here

That earthquake, Bye bye bye bye

That earthquake, Oh I’m going out of here
