it’s another night in the only type of hotel i can afford
the walls all lean on crooked ceilings falling to the floor
it’s 2:15 and this front desk queen is hardly amused
she glares at me, imprints a key and points me to my room
drift away knowing
you be high and i be lonesome
i’ll get by in some roadside motel room
you be high and i be lonesome tonight
oh tonight
spent seven seasons in the minor leagues just waitin’ for the show
work a day of it you might say it’s the dumbest job you know
but that ain’t fair there’s folks out there who hate the roads they hoe
plus lion tamers, nancy grace and the folks that chase tornadoes…
(those are dumber jobs)
you be high and i be lonesome
i’ll get by in some roadside motel room
you be high and i be lonesome tonight
oh tonight
you’ll be far and i’ll be distant
i’ll pick fights and you’ll resist ‘em
quietly we’ll let be bygones
truths that hiss like ticking time bombs
you be high and i be lonesome
i’ll get by in some roadside motel room
you be high and i be lonesome tonight
oh tonight
