"Love Shack" lyrics

"Love Shack"

I was with you when you wrote it
And I liked it better then
Back when I thought you were mine
Sang all your songs for me
I liked this song when you were mine
And I liked it better then
The people here, they don't know that
Tonight I'm one of them

Here's to you, your voice on the jukebox
Here's to you, I'm dancin' at the love shack
Shakin' it down at the love shack
Shakin' at the fool shack

Now the whole damn country loves you
Your voice belongs to them
They bought it for a quarter
And they sing along for a beer
So just one more boys, whaddya say?
One more if you please
And I might find a reason why
You don't belong to me

Here's to you, your voice on the jukebox
Here's to you, I'm dancin' at the love shack
Shakin' it down at the love shack
Shakin' at the fool shack

You can sing your song, boy
'Cause you sing it good
But raise your glass to me
While you're out on the road
'Cause tonight I paid my quarter
And that still makes you mine
Once you told me that
But now I'm shakin' at the love shack

Here's to you, your voice on the jukebox
Here's to you, I'm dancin' at the love shack
Shakin' it down at the love shack
Shakin' at the fool shack
