Ain't Nothin' Shakin' (But the Leaves on the Trees
(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)
Well, ever since the day that you left me
I been whinin' like a little lost pup
The sun went down when you left town
And you ain't gonna come back up.
A walkin' in a wearin' out leather
A scuffin' out the hardwood floor
Starin' at the phone since you've been gone
And listenin' for a knock on the door.
Well, there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze
There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves.

Now hurt's lookin' in through the window
My heartaches are laughin' in the hall
And I got news that old man blues
Is a seepin' through the cracks in the wall.
The end is a waitin' round the corner
And hope is just about gone
If you only knew what I needed you
Then you'd come a running back home.
Oh, well there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze
There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves.
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves.
There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves...
