I met him in Seattle,
He was getting down on a bottle,
Tellin lies in the Blue Moon Bar
His face was hard and traveled
And as the lines unraveled
I saw a man who could laugh about his scars
He said, I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted lady
Hog tied by a hustler in Ohio
Derailed by a dancer down in Dallas Oh Lord, he said
Women gonna be the death of me
But what a way to go
(Repeat Chords on next verse)
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 heartache never seemed to cramp his style
He said I got tongue tied by a teacher in Tallahassee
I got French fried by a waitress in Idaho
I got waylaid by a widow in Wyoming oh lord he said
Women gonna be the death of me
But what a way to go
