Out from St. |
|
Louis I wasn't choosy |
|
I just wanted to get back on the road |
|
I hitched in cars and worked in bars |
|
Lookin' for a place to lay down my load |
|
I met a lady, a shady lady |
|
And someone told her |
|
I was all on my own |
|
She poured a beer and said, "When I'm finished hereHang around 'cause I'm taking you home""Don't worry, I'll treat you all rightDon't worry, you can stay all night" |
|
And I thought it was any easy ride |
|
But I didn't know where |
|
I was until |
|
I got inside, yeah |
|
She said, "Okay sonny, give me your moneyAnd don't start any foolin' around" |
|
I said, "What?", |
|
I said, "What?""Don't you think you're turning me upside down" |
|
She said, "I don't care, I've been everywhereAnd I've not been looking for youBut I'll take you in and give you a spinYou'll know some tricks by the time we get through" |
|
Shady lady, you want it all your own way |
|
Shady lady, you won't let go of your prey |
|
Shady lady, eat me up and spit me out |
|
But let's get started now, |
|
I know what you're talking about |
|
Now in the morning as day was dawning |
|
Shady asked me if |
|
I'd stay there awhile |
|
I said, "Stay? Baby, no way" |
|
But I couldn't keep myself from a smile |
|
I said, "Now no bye-byes, go in and dry your eyesThat ain't fittin' for a lady like youWhy not be smart and give your life another start?But take care now whatever you do" |
|
Shady lady, |
|
I'm on my way |
|
Shady lady, we'll meet again one day |
|
And don't worry 'cause when we do |
|
I'm gonna make sure that there ain't very much left of you |
|
Ooh, yeah, gotta get out! |
|

|
