Footloose
Album: Not Another Teen Movie [Soundtrack] (2001)
I been working so hard
I punch my card
Eight hours, for what?
Now tell me what I got
I get this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Now I gotta cut
Loose, footloose
Kick off my Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Come on and get footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're burning, yearning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
now you gotta cut
Loose, footloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Oowhee, Marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, my lord
C'mon, c'mon let's go
Lose your blues
Everybody get footloose
you've got to turn me around
You put your feet on the ground
Now take a hold of your soul
I'm turning
Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Come on and get footloose
Footloose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Oowhee, Marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, My lord
C'mon, c'mon let's go
Lose your blues
Everybody get footloose

FOOTLOOSE and FANCY-FREE
Footloose and fancy-free,
that's the way he used to be.
Never tied down to just one place.
Always a smile on his face.
Forever ready to take on the world
wherever it was that it unfurled.
But as so many days went by
he now forgot just how to fly.
His footloose feet were flat on the ground.
His feet were always tired he found.
For they were thickly mired.
No more was he inspired
to move from where he was.
the way a young man does.
For what he had become
almost made him numb.
Couldn't remember how it felt
when he'd been young and svelte.
So now he traveled in his mind,
traveled back so he could find
unburdened days and vitality
to moments where he still could see
himself footloose and fancy-free
and revel in his history.

I Ain't Got Nothin' But Time
HANK WILLIAMS (MGM 11768, 1954)
Little girl, if you're feeling low
And you got no place to go
Just give me a ring
Some joy I will bring
'Cause I ain't got nothin' but time
Well, I ain't got nothin' but time
So baby, if you wanna shine
If you take time to look
My number's in the book
And you can call me any time
I'm footloose and I'm fancy free
So baby, just come along with me
Grab your dancin' shoes
We'll go and lose them blues
'Cause I ain't got nothin' but time
If you say so babe, we'll stay all night
Don't worry, 'cause I ain't got no wife
Any time you wanna go
Good gal, just let me know
'Cause I ain't got nothin' but time
No use to sit at home and fine
And let someone trouble your mind
Just come along with me
There's more fish in the sea
And I ain't got nothin' but time
Now baby, just come on and smile
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just look around
And watch the fellars in this town
That for you ain't got nothin' but time
Lord, I ain't got nothin' but time
So baby, if you wants to shine
If you take time to look
My number's in the book
And you can call me any time

Dance
Come on, baby, while the moon is high
Kick up your heels and dance
Dont be nervous, dont be shy
And give yourself a chance
You can dance
Kick off your shoes and lose your blues
Pick em up, lord, put em back down
And around, and around, and around, and around.
Come on, baby, it must be fun
To be dancin in the clear moonlight
Otherwise, would everyone be out on
Such a cold and windy night?
We can dance.
Throw yourself away
Holy month of may
You can dance.
Listen to the music of the steel guitar
Dont it sound good
Hey now, nobody here tonight came to look at you,
No, no, no
Well I bet you five dollars that somebody starts a fire
Back in the woods, hey now
Everybody here tonight came to boogie
Have a good time, too
Come on, baby, while the moon is high
Kick up your heels and dance
Dont be nervous, dont be shy
And give yourself a chance
You can dance
Kick off your shoes and lose your blues
Pick em up, lord, put em back down
And around, and around, and around, and around
If I could lose my mind
If I could throw myself away.

Kick It Up
(jim robinson)
Well I work six days out of seven
Waiting all week for saturday night
Going out to neon heaven
Punch the clock on party time
Jamming this old pickup across the county line
Aint it good to be alive
Kick it up
Tell the boys in the band
Play it hot cause I came in here to dance
Kick it up
Give that country girl a whirl
My boots are gonna lose the blues when they turn those guitars up
Kick it up
Got my paycheck in my pocket
Darling well spend every dime
And when this bar starts rocking
Well show them all just how to unwind
Dont worry bout your troubles
Leave em at the door
And Ill meet you out on the floor
Kick it up
Tell the boys in the band
Make it smoke cause she came in here to dance
Kick it up
Give that country girl a whirl
My boots are gonna lose the blues when they turn those guitars up
Kick it up
Kick it up
When the boss man gets you down
Kick it up
If youre tired of the runaround
Kick it up
Yeah we know monday morning will be here before too long
So until the night is gone
Kick it up
Tell the boys in the band
Play it hot make it smoke cause we came here to dance
Kick it up
Give that country girl a whirl
My boots are gonna lose the blues when they turn those guitars up
Kick it up
Oh kick it up
Kick it up (kick it up)
Kick it up (kick it up)
Kick it up
Kick it up (kick it up)
Kick it up
Kick it up

Blues Man
Hey What chu tryin to do
Why you tryin to see through me baby
Its way too hazy
Hey Im still feelin the same
So dont go tryin to change me baby
You cant save me
So many people try to bring me down
They wouldnt last a second in my town
CHORUS
Hey Ive always been a blues man
Hey I little rhythm and blues man
Dont try walkin inside my shoes
Unless youre puttin up somethin to lose
I said Hey Ive always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythm and blues man
Dont try walkin inside my shoes tonight
You stem so far from the truth
You hide inside all your talkin papers
Flashin statements
You never put your money down
And watched a big wheel go around and take it
And in remake it
All you do is follow me around
Then you go ahead and ride it down
REPEAT CHORUS
Dont try walkin inside my shoes
Unless youre puttin up somethin to lose
I said dont try walkin inside my shoes baby baby
I said Hey Ive always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythm and blues man
Dont try walkin inside my shoes
Unless your puttin up somethin to lose
I said Hey Ive always been a blues man
Hey A little rhythm and blues man
Dont try walkin inside my shoes
Unless your unless your unless your
Hey Ive always been a blues man
Hey A little rhythm and blues man
Dont try walkin inside my shoes tonight

Runnin Blue
Poor otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor otis dead and gone
Yeah, back down, turn around slowly
Try it again, remembering when
It was easy, try it again
Much to easy, rememberin when
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the runnin blues
Well, Ive got the runnin blues
Runnin away, back to l.a.
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in l.a.
Runnin scared
Runnin blue
Goin so fast
Whatll I do
Well, Ive got the runnin blues
Runnin away, back to l.a.
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in l.a.
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the runnin blues
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the runnin blues

Good Time Charlies Got The Blues
(words & music by danny okeefe)
Everybodys gone away
Said theyre movin to l.a.
Theres not a soul I know around
Everybodys leavin town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Found the sunshine in the rain
They said this towns will waste their time
I guess theyre right, its wasting mine
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
You know my heart keeps tellin me
Youre not a kid at thirty-three
Play around youll lose your wife
You play it too long youll lose your life
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues

Dont Call On Me
Dont call on me
When youre feeling footloose, and fancy-free.
Youve done that before,
And like a fool I came back for more.
Its all over now,
Ive finally seen my way.
I need you no more,
Not now or any other day.
Ok, little girl, live for yourself
In your own little world.
I know that youll find
Someone wholl play and love you,
Be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind.

Five hundredll buy you a stack. bet it on the red or the black and youll
Lose, bet on the blues.

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

Honky Tonk Side Of Town
Dont you cry __ dont you moan
Hang your head down all night long
That ole feeling sure aint nothing new
Its in your walk, its in your talk
Theres only one way to shake it off,
You got to get to it before it gets to you
So put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, dont let it stop
Theres only one thing Ive found
Thatll turn it all around
The blues cant do no business
On a honky tonk side of town
You gotta slip, you gotta slide
Therere gonna try to nail your hide
Yeah, theyll put a hurting on you, given half a chance
So get mean and get slick
You gotta pull out every trick
Cause everybody knows the blues dont like to dance
To chorus:
Well, you can walk that walk
And talk that talk, and boogie till you shake it off
No the blues cant do no business
The blues cant do no business
The blues cant do no business
On the honky tonk side of town
