The Man Who Shook the World Lyrics by Chuck Mead

Close to Home

2019

[Verse 1]
When I first heard
Those magic words
I was lost for good
And rock and roll
Never swallowed my soul
Like they said it would
And now at last
I'm gonna pass on
This wisdom pearl
So shake the hand
That shook the hand
Of the man who shook the world
[Verse 2]
Well I'm telling you
What a chosen few
Have come to know
And it seemed to me
It was given to me
Some years ago
I got so near
I could almost hear
That big wheel whirl
So shake the hand
That shook the hand
Of the man who shook the world
[Chorus]
Well shake the hand
That shook the hand
That made the earth stand still
I ain't the one
But you can carry it on
And do with it what you will
It's powerful stuff
[That's sportin'?] enough
To make your neck hair curl
So shake the hand
That shook the hand
Of the man who shook the world
[Bridge]
Well shake the hand
That shook the hand
That made the earth stand still
I ain't the one
But you can carry it on
And do with it what you will
[Verse 3]
Now there are architects
[?]
Statues too
There're kings and queens
That had a dream
And told the truth
They made you think twice
And had some good advice
For every man, woman, boy, and girl
So shake the hand
That shook the hand
Of the man who shook the world
[Chorus]
Well shake the hand
That shook the hand
That made the earth stand still
I ain't the one
But you can carry it on
And do with it what you will
It's powerful stuff
[That's sportin'?] enough
To make your neck hair curl
So shake the hand
That shook the hand
Of the man who shook the world
