Motel Livin'

Cigarette burns on a comforter in a room that says no smoking

Bible in the back of a bedside drawer, been a while since it's been opened

Rain drops dippin' through the popcorn ceiling, three stars off from the worst four seasons

Plug's been known to throw a spark or two, I hope your hair don't need no blowin'

I'll probably check in late and I won't stay too much past dawn

Chasin' down a part of me in the colors of the sun

Who knows, I could find my soul lookin' down some road where I ain't driven

I feel closer every minute in this motel livin'

Front desk lady seemed a little drunk as she fumbled me my key

Said, "You can pay by the hour, you can pay by the night

Or $200 for the whole damn week"

Well, there's something about blowin' into town and lookin' in the sky to see

Flickerin' lights on a vacancy sign that could use a little work like me

I'll probably check in late and I won't stay too much past dawn

Chasin' down a part of me in the colors of the sun

Who knows, I could find my soul lookin' down some road where I ain't driven

I feel closer every minute in this motel livin'

One night stay just to rest my head

One more place I can say I've been

One more wish on a penny in parking lot

There's something waitin' at the next map dot

I'll probably check in late and I won't stay too much past dawn

Chasin' down a part of me in the colors of the sun

Who knows, I could find my soul lookin' down some road where I ain't driven

I feel closer every minute in this motel livin'
