Pokey Lafarge - Knockin’ The Dust Off The Rust Belt Tonight lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Well the lights are on, it’s time to go

Gotta hit the stage for another show

Knocking the dust off the rust belt tonight

I started out, all by myself

But I’m lucky now that I’ve found some help to

Knock the dust off the rust belt tonight

(Hook)

Have you seen what’s happening round here?

You ask most people, they don’t care

But now is the time we have to do things right

So we’re knocking the dust off the rust belt tonight

(Verse)

From the C-H-I to the S-T-L

I was born to raise a ruckus and do it well

Knocking the dust off the rust belt tonight

Take a jazz band with a country beat

It’s Midwestern Swing for your dancing feet

We’re gonna knock the dust off the rust belt tonight

(Hook)

(Verse)

A newspaperman said it couldn’t be done

But I lived it, I wrote it, in a song I sung

Knocking the dust off the rust belt tonight

This ain’t your mama and your daddy’s Midwest

We have what it takes to stand the test

Knocking the dust off the rust belt tonight

(Hook)
