Cooder Graw - Motel Lights lyrics

rate me

Little did she know the ring wouldn't go

With him out to the bar

Newlyweds, barely out of bed

And now he's leaving in another girl's car

She should've known when she took him home

And stole him from another

He'd do the same thing with a wedding ring

And leave it for a lover

She thought she could change all of the things

That kept him out at night

But even gold can't hold a man who sold

His home for motel lights

Now these motel lights flicker outside my door

Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more

And that vacancy reminds me of what I've got in store

As these motel lights flicker outside my door

He sells a lie she still wants to buy

But that can't last for long

Who wants to wait at home all day

For a man who never wants to come home

She can't keep the faith at home all day

And her mind begins to stray

She starts to think about having a drink

At a little place down the way

She can't believe she's about to leave

The home she tried to build

But she gets in her car with a man from the bar

Up to her neck in guilt

Now these motel lights flicker outside my door

Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more

And that vacancy reminds me of what I've got in store

As these motel lights flicker outside my door
