Return To Fantasy

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
