Shakeytown Lyrics

-- P. Barrere, M. Kibbee 


First time that I saw her 
down at the predator's ball 
She was lookin' ore thatn a little bit lost 
Like this was her very first cattle call 
She was a quick understudy 
She learned to use her appeal 
'Cause now all you hear is the squeal of the wheels 
Of her super-nice over-priced automobile, yeah 

She's makin my heart beat 
Jumpin' at every turn 
A hundred miles an hour, yeah 
Like she's got money to burn 

Whoa, she's an overnight sensation 
Oh yeah, she knows her way around 
Won't waste time on conversation 
Gonna take ya right down 
Down to Shakeytown 

Ya' know she took me honky-tonkin' 
Out on the Westside Drive 
Whe was star at the monkey bar 
And I was social suicide 
And now she's off in a corner 
With a Hollywood wheel 
Lookin' to hook a development deal for 
Fifty grand, honey, and all she can steal 

She got the hang of the fast life 
She gets thte parts that don't speak 
She introduce me to jack-knife 
That's her agent this week 

Whoa, she's an overnight sensation 
Oh yeah, she knows her way around 
Won't waste time on conversation 
Gonna take ya right down 
Down to Shakeytown 
She will take you down 
Take you all the way down 
Down to Shakeytown 

Got a Czech director, yeah 
And her Italian camera man 
Ya know they try to protect her 
But she's doin' the best that she can 

Whoa, she's an overnight sensation 
Oh yeah, she knows her way around 
Won't waste time on conversation 
Gonna take ya right down 
Down to Shakeytown 
She will take you down 
Take you all the way down 
Down to Shakeytown 
She will take you down 
Take you all the way down 
Down to Shakeytown
