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 here
Hang around 'cause
I'm taking you home
Don't worry
I'll treat you all right
Don't worry
You can stay all night
I thought it was any easy ride
But I didn't know where
I was until I got inside
She said, ok sonny
Give me your money
And 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 everywhere
And I've not been looking for you
But I'll take you in
And give you a spin
You'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 the 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-bye's
Go in and dry your eyes
That ain't fittin'
For a lady like you
Why 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
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 here Hang around 'cause I'm taking you home Don't worry I'll treat you all right Don't worry You can stay all night I thought it was any easy ride But I didn't know where I was until I got inside She said, ok sonny Give me your money And 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 everywhere And I've not been looking for you But I'll take you in And give you a spin You'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 the 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-bye's Go in and dry your eyes That ain't fittin' For a lady like you Why 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 Explain Request ×
