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...
