I used to worry about the future

Got so much canned heat in my heels, yeah
Dance, canned heat in my heels tonight, baby
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
(Let the music play)
Off the nasty things that people say
I'm gonna use my power to ascend
Got canned heat in my heals tonight, baby
Stuck between hell and high water I need a cure to make it through
Dance, gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance
You know I got these running heels to use
You know this boogie is for real
Dance, come on got canned heat in my heels tonight
(I'm gonna let this party live)
But then I threw my caution to the wind
Dance, got so much canned heat, canned heat in my heels
I used to put my faith in worship
Got so much canned heat in my heels, yeah
I used to worry about the future
I had no choice but to get down, down, down, down
Canned heat in my heels tonight
I had no reason to be care free, no, no, no
I'm gonna let this party live
I'm gonna let this party live
Dance, you know this boogie is for real
Dance, hey, DJ let the music play
I don't know what to do but then that's nothing new
Sometimes there's no way I lose, I was born to run and built to last
I know that peoples' talk can be so cheap, hey
I know this anger's heaven sent
You know this boogie is for real
Got canned heat in my heals tonight, baby
You know I'm gonna dance my blues away
(Party live, I'm gonna let this party live, hey)
