[Verse 1]
Fought across the border wars
Fought across our destiny
We shot across the stratosphere
The thin air bothered me
I looked around that whole damn place
For somewhere to lay my head
Then a man in the hood come shoulder me
Said, "You wishin' you was dead?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Shake your bag o' bones
When nobody's home
Shake your bag o' bones
And you'll never be alone
Move your head with the dancin' dead
Get in the game and play
Shake your bonеs wherever you roam
Bе the one who got away, hey

[Refrain]
All right
Yeah, shake it
Whoa

[Chorus]
Long way from home wherever you may roam
Take along and shake that bag o' bones
[Verse 2]
I packed my shit and headed east
Where the sun was set to rise
They sent me west with all their best
No disgrace, compromise
I looked around that whole damn place
While the sun set on my face
Then the man in the hood come shoulder me
Said, "You come for another taste, boy?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Shake your bag o' bones
When nobody's home
Shake your bag o' bones
And you'll never be alone
Move your head with the dancin' dead
Get in the game and play
Shake your bones wherever you roam
Be the one who got away, hey

[Chorus]
Long way from home wherever you may roam
Take along and shake that bag o' bones
Long way from home and you'll never be alone
Take along and shake that bag o' bones
[Interlude]

[Bridge 1]
Keeping my pace, the long, winding road
Grab that bag of bones, now shake it
Grab that bag of bones, now shake it
Sun on my face, the road full of bones
Grab that bag of bones, now shake it
Grab that bag of bones, now shake it

[Bridge 2]
All of his horses, all of his men
All of his bones together again
All of his bones are together again

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Shake your bag o' bones
When nobody's home
Shake your bag o' bones
And you'll never be alone
Move your head with the dancin' dead
Get in the game and play
Shake your bones wherever you roam
Be the one who got away, hey
[Refrain]
That's right
Shake, shake it
Shake, shake

[Chorus]
Long way from home wherever you may roam
Take along and shake that bag o' bones
Long way from home and you'll never be alone
Take along and shake that bag o' bones

[Outro]
Shake
Shake it
Shake
