Motel Blues Lyrics

[00:29.63] In this town television shuts off at two
[00:36.73] What can a lonely rock and roller do?
[00:41.95] Ah, the bed's so big
[00:44.60] And the sheets are clean
[00:46.68] And your girlfriend said
[00:48.38] You were 19
[00:49.43] And the styrofoam ice bucket
[00:52.03] Is full of ice
[00:56.82] Come up to my motel room
[01:00.22] Treat me nice
[01:03.60] I don't wanna make no late night New York calls
[01:10.72] I don't wanna stare at them ugly grass mat walls
[01:17.64] Chronologically I know you're young
[01:20.98] But when you kissed me in the club
[01:22.76] You bit my tongue
[01:24.12] I'll write a song for you
[01:28.72] I'll put it on my new LP
[01:33.48] Ah, come up to my motel room
[01:37.50] Sleep with me
[01:40.48]
[02:17.70] Oh, there's a bible in the drawer
[02:21.44] Don't be afraid
[02:25.76] I'll put up a sign
[02:27.96] To warn the cleanup maid
[02:31.59] Yeah there's lots of soap
[02:34.32] And there's lots of towels
[02:36.99] Never mind them desk clerk scowls
[02:39.79] I'll buy you breakfast
[02:45.46] They'll think you're my wife
[02:51.13] Come up to my motel room
[02:53.63] Save my life
[02:57.95] Come up to my motel room
[03:00.37] Save my life
[03:18.55]
