Songtext von What a Way to Go

Met him in Seattle Bellied up to a bottle Telling lies in the Blue Moon Bar His face was hard and traveled And as the line unraveled I saw a man who could laugh about his scars He said I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman Hog-tied by a hooker in Ohio Derailed by a dancer down in Detroit Lord he said women gonna be the death of me But what a way to go He said a girl named Nancy Once tickled his fancy And backed it up with a fifty dollar smile He laughed when he remembered The pain of sweet surrender But heartaches never seemed to cramp his style He said I got tongue-tied by a teacher in Tallahassee French-fried by a waitress in Idaho Waylaid by a widow in Wyoming Lord he said women gonna be the death of me But what a way to go He said I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman Hog-tied by a hooker in Ohio Derailed by a dancer down in Detroit Lord he said women gonna be the death of me But what a way to go He said I got tongue-tied by a teacher in Tallahassee French-fried by a waitress in Idaho Waylaid by a widow in Wyoming
