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
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
