Barefoot Rock
Dance Away the Blues: Unveiling the Soulful Story in 'Barefoot Rock'
Lyrics
I been walkin' all night down the railroad track
I have been walking all night along the railroad track.
Wonderin' if my baby 'll be comin' back
Wondering if my baby will return.
Hung like a monkey in a coconut tree
Feeling suspended like a monkey in a coconut tree.
I'm so shook up, I got the heebie jeebies
Experiencing extreme nervousness or anxiety, often manifested physically.
My head goin' 'round like a spinnin' top
My mind is spinning like a top.
I wanna sit down, but I just can't stop
Wanting to sit down but unable to stop.
When I get home, I'm gonna pull off my shoes
Planning to relax at home by taking off shoes.
Get on the floor and dance away my blues
Intending to dance on the floor to alleviate sadness.
Ah-ha, and do the barefoot rock
Expressing enthusiasm to engage in a dance called the barefoot rock.
Ah-ha, do the barefoot rock
Reiterating the intention to perform the barefoot rock dance.
Ah-ha, do the barefoot rock
Emphasizing the desire to participate in the barefoot rock dance.
I'm gonna dance away all my blues
Determined to dance away all the emotional troubles.
Some people say I'm about to lose my sense
Some people believe I am losing my sanity.
Howlin' like a tomcat sittin' on the fence
Howling like a cat sitting on a fence, possibly expressing emotional distress.
Callin' for my baby high and low
Calling out for my beloved in desperation.
Searchin' for that girl, 'cause I love her so
Searching for my loved one because of deep affection.
Lookin' at the moon up in the sky
Gazing at the moon, contemplating the girl and feeling emotional.
Thinkin' about that girl and I almost cry
Thinking about the girl and nearly crying.
When I get home, I'm gonna pull off my shoes
Upon returning home, planning to take off shoes for relaxation.
Get on the floor and dance away my blues
Intending to dance on the floor to dispel sadness.
Ah-ha, and do the barefoot rock
Enthusiastically engaging in the barefoot rock dance.
Ah-ha, and do the barefoot rock
Reiterating the enjoyment of the barefoot rock dance.
Ah-ha, do the barefoot rock
Emphasizing the pleasure of participating in the barefoot rock dance.
I'm gonna dance away all my blues
Determined to dance away all emotional troubles through the barefoot rock.
