Shady Lady Lyrics

(Hensley/Box/Byron/Kerslake)

Out from St. Louis, I wasn`t choosy
I just turned to get back on the road
I hitched in cars, and worked in bars
Lookin` for a place to lay down on 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 alright
Don`t worry you can stay all night
I thought it was an easy ride
But I didn`t know where I was until I got inside

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 saisd I don`t care I`ve been everywhere
And I`ve been not 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 et`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 a while
I said stay baby, no way
But I couldn`t keep my self 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
