What A Way To Go - Dr. Hook
I met him in seattle
He was gettin' down on a bottle
Telling lies in the blue moon bar
His face was hard and travelled
And as the wine unravelled
I saw a man who could laugh about his scars
He said I got shanghaied in vegas by a painted woman
I got hog tied by a hustler in ohio
I got derailed by a dancer down in dallas
Oh 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
I got french fried by a waitress in idaho
I got way laid by a widow in wyoming
Oh lord he said
Women gonna be the death of me
But
What a way to go
I got shanghaied in vegas by a painted woman
I got hog tied by a hustler in ohio
I got derailed by a dancer down in dallas
Oh lord he said
Women gonna be the death of me but
What a way to go
