Janie Baker's Love Slave
Shenandoah · All American Country [2003]
Well her love was a habit and I tried to kick it
So I went downtown and bought a one-way ticket
And I rode that greyhound down to macon
Then I hich-hiked back cause my heart was breakin'
Chorus
Oh now I see
It's destiny
I can't be free
I'm her love slave
Janie baker's love slave
When I'm close to her my heart starts a'thumpin'
When she says 'froggie' I can't help but jumpin'
She's got a hold on me and there's no escapin'
It's a ball and chain of my own makin'
Chorus
Bridge
Well I used to go bowling, used to go fishing
Used to go drinking too
But since I've been exposed to her kind of kissing
There's nothing else I wanna do
Solo
Chorus
So I went downtown and bought a one-way ticket
And I rode that greyhound down to macon
Then I hich-hiked back cause my heart was breakin'
Chorus
Oh now I see
It's destiny
I can't be free
I'm her love slave
Janie baker's love slave
When I'm close to her my heart starts a'thumpin'
When she says 'froggie' I can't help but jumpin'
She's got a hold on me and there's no escapin'
It's a ball and chain of my own makin'
Chorus
Bridge
Well I used to go bowling, used to go fishing
Used to go drinking too
But since I've been exposed to her kind of kissing
There's nothing else I wanna do
Solo
Chorus
