Shanghaid Lyrics - Travel-log - J. J. Cale

Hong kong, tokyo and singapore 

new york, boston and baltimore 

they'll take you right down where you don't want to go 

if you talk too fast and you walk too slow 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

i tried to live by the golden rule 

do unto others and they'll do unto you 

every time i get turned on i end up singing the same song 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

i was crossing the desert on a sunny day 

i met two women that passed my way 

they took me to a tent and they locked the door and all they 

ever said was "more, more" 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

and i'm standing right here with my usual slack 

police got me for talking back 

"you're out on the street, you'd better watch your step 

if you talk too loud, now button your lip" 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

sitting in a bar in west berlin 

sipping on a glass that's low again 

talking to a woman i thought i knew 

the lights went out and i did too 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid 

shanghaid, shanghaid 

been locked up and shanghaid
