Acoustic slide guitar and lyrics that come back to haunt me. Almost every singer/musician (and, probably, almost everyone else), at some point, feels what this song expresses. | MP3.com CD: I Love America - buy it!

Story Behind the Song
Somewhere in the Holy Bible is a reference to how people will be 'continually shaken' by God. That's where the title came from. The rest of the lyrics just spilled out after reading the passage.
The original analogue recording was just me singing and playing various takes on acoustic guitar. Then, Zone came it to add a little bottom, and Paul mixed it down without much fuss. Thanks, guys!
Lyrics
"Continually Shaken"
Hard-earned pay does always seem
to slip right through the fingers;
Prodded to pursue a scheme
devised by by-gone singers;
Through lonely days and nights a dream
continually lingers.
What's missin' from a lonely life
that others are possessin'?
Why can't he lay on child and wife
a father's gift and blessin'?
What frees a lonely soul from strife
continually pressin'?
What fate awaits a lonely man
reaching for the rainbow's end?
What lesson others understand
that he can't comprehend?
Just when he seems to get ahead,
he's grossly overtaken
By some misfortune that he dreads,
of which he was mistaken.
The path on which he lightly tread's
continually shakin'.
Sometimes it seems that other men
have blessings by the minute;
They bet against the odds and then,
they always seem to win it.
Just when the dream is coming true,
it's time for him to waken.
To do what ev'ry man must do
the dream must be forsaken
For fate that makes a life so blue,
continually shaken.
