Shady Lady
Out from St. Louie, I wasn't choosyI just wanted to get back on the roadI hitched in cars, and worked in barsLookin' for a place to lay down my load
I met a lady, a shady ladyAnd someone told her I was all on my ownShe 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 nightAnd I thought it was any easy rideBut I didn't know where I was till I got inside
She said Okay sonny, give me your moneyAnd don't start any foolin' aroundI said What? I said WhatDon't you think you're turning me upside down
She said I don't care, I've been everywhereAnd I've not been lookin' 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 wayShady lady, you won't let go of your preyShady lady, eat me up and spit me outBut let's get started now I know what you're talkin' about
Now in the morning, as day was dawningShady asked me if I'd stay there awhileI said Stay? baby no wayBut I couldn't keep myself from a smile
I said Now no bye-bye's, go in and dry your eyesThat ain't fittin' for a lady like youWhy not be smart, and give your life another startBut take care now whatever you do
Shady lady I'm on my wayShady lady we'll meet again one dayAnd don't worry 'cause when we doI'm gonna make sure that there ain't very much left of you
I gotta get out! (repeat and fade)
