The Legend Walks Back In

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walk in and the room finds a pulse Shoes start tapping before I say much Gold on the cuff, sweat on the brow You came for a drink, but you’re moving now [Pre-Chorus] You lean in close, I count to four That old wooden floor can take some more No need to ask what happens next Your heartbeat’s writing the checks [Chorus] Move your body, let the good times roll I got a rhythm that can shake your soul Everybody wants a little piece of the show The women want my babies, the guys want my clothes Move your body, don’t stand still I’m the name on everybody’s lips tonight [Verse 2] My picture’s taped in the corner booth Half the town says I’m living proof That a crooked grin and a steady hand Can turn a small-time spark into a marching band [Pre-Chorus] You lean in close, I count to four That old wooden floor can take some more No need to ask what happens next Your heartbeat’s writing the checks [Chorus] Move your body, let the good times roll I got a rhythm that can shake your soul Everybody wants a little piece of the show The women want my babies, the guys want my clothes Move your body, don’t stand still I’m the name on everybody’s lips tonight [Bridge] Horn line talking, organ burning Every head in the room is turning I don’t need a throne or a limousine Just a pocket full of pocket and a dance-floor scene [Final Chorus] Move your body, let the good times roll I got a rhythm that can shake your soul Everybody wants a little piece of the show The women want my babies, the guys want my clothes Move your body, don’t stand still When I leave, you’ll be moving still [Outro] Keep it low, keep it tight Take that groove into the night One more step, one more spin That’s how the legend walks back in
