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 me I was al 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 said I don't care, I've been everywhere
But I'll take you in and give you a spin
You'll know some tricks by the time we 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 talkin' about
Now in the morning, as day was dawning
Shady asked me if I'd stay there awhile
I said stay, baby no way
