Lyric

Boots stompin’ in the red dirt heat

Rattles in the shadows keepin’ time with my feet

Rex strikes first with a venomous bite

That Snakebite Shuffle cuts straight through the night

Dust kicks up when the bar door swings

Every outlaw in the room knows what that riff brings

Steel strings flash like a fang in the dark—

One strike hits, then it leaves a burn mark

Feel that fever start to rise

Hammond growlin’ like it’s alive

No more hidin’, no disguise—

This groove hits hard and crystallizes

Snakebite Shuffle

Hits you twice with trouble

Three guitars collide

Like lightning in the rubble

Shake that floorboard loose

No chains, no excuse

Snakebite Shuffle—

Once it bites, it won’t let you lose

Cold sweat rollin’ down my back

Rex bends a note like a whip-crack attack

Earl slides in with a moan and a scream

Tommy’s clean cuts slice right through the steam

Shots slam down on the old wood bar

Voices get loud when they know who we are

Every chord rattles bones inside

This shuffle rides like a venom tide

Fever rising in the room

This bar’s about to blow and boom

Grip the neck and meet your doom—

Snakebite Shuffle seals your tomb

Snakebite Shuffle

Hits you twice with trouble

Three guitars collide

Like lightning in the rubble

Shake that floorboard loose

No chains, no excuse

Snakebite Shuffle—

Once it bites, it won’t let you lose

One sting

Two stings

Feel the southern venom ring

One bite

Two bites

This groove don’t quit at night

Snakebite Shuffle

Fire, grit, and trouble

Let the red dirt roar

Kick down that open door

Three guitars burn in time

Striking hard on every line

Snakebite Shuffle—

Tonight that venom’s mine
