Earthquake Lyrics - Speed Of Life - 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 workin' out just right 

But then the earth starts shakin' 

Here comes the afterlife 

Earthquake, earthquake 

Ridin' hell's emotion 

That earthquake, earthquake 

Churnin' up the fear 

That earthquake, earthquake 

Devil's locomotion 

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 

To know it's time to say goodbye 

To that earthquake, earthquake 

Ridin' hell's emotion 

That earthquake, earthquake 

Churnin' up the fear 

That earthquake, earthquake 

The devil's locomotion 

That earthquake, earthquake 

Gonna run me outta here

I'm packin' up and goin' to North Dakota 

Well, I heard it's freezin' cold but I don't care 

I'd rather get that frostbite on my fingers 

Than end up crushed beneath my Frigidaire 

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 

Churnin' up the fear 

That earthquake, earthquake 

Devil's locomotion 

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 gettin' out of here 

(That earthquake) 

Bye, bye, bye, bye 

(That earthquake) 

That earthquake, oh, I'm gettin' out of here
