"roadside motel"
(words & music by ron leary © 2020)
oh this day has come and gone
passing time it sure don’t last long
ain’t got a home to call my own
just roaming from town to town
another night here in this roadside motel
might just bury me alive
and if that’s the way it’s gotta go
i beg of you, please don’t take it slow
here in this roadside motel
turn out the lights, turn off the mind
lightning strikes in the dead of the night
there was a time, when all was fine
ain’t no way to go back and make things right
another night here in this roadside motel
might just bury me alive
and if that’s the way it’s gotta go
i beg of you, please don’t take it slow
here in this roadside motel
