Cheap Hotel Room

歌词

[Verse 1] Two cousins rolled in west With their girls from Oklahoma City Big dreams in a borrowed car And a little too much pity They watched it all go red At a table off the Strip By the time the morning came They were counting every tip [Pre-Chorus] Tried to beat it back home But the road kept taking more Every stop was empty pockets Every door stayed locked and sore [Chorus] Cheap hotel room No cash, no tune Just four tired hearts And a busted moon Cheap hotel room Where the bad news blooms We came to play Now we sleep in fumes [Verse 2] The girls laid out the bags Like a map of what was left A lipstick, two motel keys And one half-spent cigarette The cousins stared at the carpet Like it might give back a sign But the only thing in that room Was the clock and checkout time [Pre-Chorus] Tried to beat it back home But the road kept taking more Every stop was empty pockets Every door stayed locked and sore [Chorus] Cheap hotel room No cash, no tune Just four tired hearts And a busted moon Cheap hotel room Where the bad news blooms We came to play Now we sleep in fumes [Bridge] One girl laughed through the ache Said, "Well, this is where we are" One cousin checked his pockets Found a buck and a parking card They sat there in the silence Let the shame roll off the wall Sometimes losing in a hurry Is the loudest loss of all [Chorus] Cheap hotel room No cash, no tune Just four tired hearts And a busted moon Cheap hotel room Where the bad news blooms We came to play Now we sleep in fumes [Outro] Oklahoma City gone Las Vegas done with us Four souls in a cheap hotel room And a whole lot left to trust Cheap hotel room Cheap hotel room
