Shady Lady Lyrics

Shady Lady lyrics

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"

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 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 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 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



Ooh, yeah, gotta get out!

Out, out, gotta get out!

Out, out

Out, out

Out, out, I gotta get out!

Out, out

Out, out

Out, out, gotta get out!

Out, out

Out, out

Out, out, ooh, yeah
