Lyrics
Cheap Motel
(C) 2017 Michael R. J. Roth & Gregory Thoroman
Living in a cheap motel,
I'll mail you a postcard from hell,
Gideon bible in the nightstand drawer,
It's a passport to heaven I'm sure.
Stains on the carpet, hair in the drain,
I swear this bed is haunted
with the groans of a saint.
I'm living an alibi
From the shattered life I left behind,
Like a beer can ashtray
in the corner of my soul.
This is where dreams come to die
under pink neon lights,
Looking for the truth behind
A whiskey colored blind
CHORUS:
This is not the mansion I was promised,
This is not the life I'm supposed to lead,
These are not the girls I meant to kiss, Lord,
For a love that only hits me where I bleed,
in these cheap motels
I knew a guy who made it all the way,
Got himself a mansion and famous name.
He lay awake one night alone in his bed.
These are the words he said:
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Between the rocky road to heaven
And the long and lonesome
highway to hell,
no matter where you live,
it's just another cheap motel.
(CHORUS)
