Hotel Key

Well, it was down some street we couldn't even pronounce

We were smoking a little from a half an ounce

The tequila was cheap, but the flow we were feeling was real

Neither one of us looking for three little words

Unless those three words were "Do not disturb"

Checkout was supposed to be noon, but we slept in till three

She kept the hotel key

Slipped it in her purse

I guess it makes her think of me

And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves

And the clothes all over the floor

We both know we can't open that door no more

But she kept the hotel key

Well, I could still see her on the bed sitting Indian style

With my t-shirt on and a half drunk smile

She talked about Austin and how she'd get back there someday

We had the curtains wide open and a song on my phone

We danced by the TV we never turned on

And wondered would anyone miss us if we ran away?

But this isn't one of those stories that ends up that way, no

She kept the hotel key

Slipped it in her purse

I guess it makes her think of me

And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves

And the clothes all over the floor

We both know we can't open that door no more

But she kept the hotel key, yeah

We left the lights, we left the crowd

We left the world and locked it out

She left a picture in my head

She left a night I can't forget, but

She kept the hotel key

Slipped it in her purse

I guess it makes her think of me

And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves

And the clothes all over the floor

We both know we can't open that door no more

But she kept the hotel key

Yeah, she kept it

She kept the hotel key

Slipped it in her purse

I guess it makes her think of me

And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves

And the clothes all over the floor

We both know we can't open that door no more

But she kept the hotel key

Yeah, she kept it

She kept the hotel key, ooh

She kept the hotel key
