Ooooh-oh-oh
Ooooh-oh-oh
Yeah
Ooooh-oh-oh
Ooooo-oh-oh
Ooooo-oh-oh
I Been working so hard
I’m punching my card
Eight hours for what
Oh, tell me what I got
I get this feeling
Times just holding me down
I’ll hit the ceiling
Or else I’ll tear up this town
Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
You’re playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Deep way down in your heart
You’re burning yearning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain’t passing you by
I’m trying to tell you
It will if you don’t even try
You’ll get by if you’d only
Cut loose, footloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Oo-wee Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Woah, Milo, come on, come on let’s go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose.
Ooooh-oh-oh
(Cut footloose)
Ooooh-oh-oh
(Cut footloose)
Ooooh-oh-oh
(Cut footloose)
Oooooooooh
We’ve got to turn you around
And put your feet on the ground
Now take a hold of your soul
I’m turning it loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
(Footloose) footloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
(Everybody) everybody cut footloose
Finding Freedom in Motion
“Footloose” by Blake Shelton is a vibrant anthem about breaking free from life’s constraints and embracing the joy of letting go. The lyrics capture the spirit of hard work and the need to unwind, reminding listeners that sometimes the best remedy for stress is simply to dance. With calls to “kick off your Sunday shoes” and invitations to friends to join in, the song encourages everyone to drop their inhibitions and enjoy the moment. The energetic chorus and playful instructions to characters like Louise, Jack, and Marie make it feel like a communal celebration, turning the act of dancing into a symbol of liberation and unity.
