Quotes about motel, page 8
How The Heart Approaches What It Yearns
In the blue light
Of the belvedere motel
Wondering as the television burns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
In a fever
I distinctly hear your voice
Emerging from a dream, the dream returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
After the rain on the interstate
The headlights slide past the moon
A bone-weary traveler
Waits by the side of the road
Wheres he goin?
I dream we are lying on the top of a hill
And headlights slide past the moon
I fold in your arms
And your voice is the heat of the night
Im on fire
In a phone booth
In some local bar and grill

Look What The Cat Dragged In
I went to bed too late
And got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin
From too much booze
I got a foot in the gutter
A foot in the grave
I aint seen home
In the last three days
Chorus:
Oh my God look what the cat dragged in
Livin my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in
No tell, motel, hotel bed
If it wasnt for the sunlight Id swear I was dead
I got a girl on the left of me
A girl on the right
I know damn well I slept with both last night
Chorus, solo
Im late for work on monday

Nothing But Time
(by jackson browne & howard burke)
Rolling down 295 out of portland, maine
Still high from the people up there and feeling no pain
Gonna make it to new jersey, gonna set it up and do it again
I got a bottle of wine (pass it over)
I got a broken white line (Im still sober)
There aint nothin but time between this silver eagle
And that new jersey line
Well its a rock and roll band or a movie you can take your pick
And it aint bad work if you can get it
But you gotta make it stick
But getting any kind of sleep on this rolling motel--thats the trick
Its just a bottle of wine (pass it over)
Its just a broken white line (Im still sober)
Its just a whole lot of time in the twilight zone
Between me and these friends of mine

I Was Only Telling A Lie
Got the one room suite in the downtown motel
Got a lovely view
Classic shot of the parking lot
An off ramp of route 72
Half flat six pack of lukewarm beer
So lay down by my side
Like to whisper sweet nothings in my filthy ear
til Im satisfied
Baby-bootie, juicy-fruity, truck-stop cutie, roadside-beauty
Im in love with you
Hope it dont last too long
You got the mackerel eyes
Brought the side of fries
You got me hypnotized
Im in love again
Now baby when I told you that
I love you
I was only telling a lie
Ill be long gone come the crack of dawn
And I believe the word is

Let It Rain
Two lovers in a desperate game
She holds him close but their loves in vain
And the married man that you laid
Goes back home to his own charade
She puts her faith in every word he said
Tender moments in a motel bed
When you press the point he says well see
But then walks to his mystery
* so darling you tell me its a wild world
You gotta take a little pain and
How long will love last that you can
Never, never explain
** do you just
Let it rain, let it rain
Dont stop those tears falling again just
Let it rain, let it rain
Now you see that loves just a game
In his arms time goes so fast
But stolen love will never last
You try to keep him though you know its wrong

Smile At Me Again
By kris kristofferson and stephen bruton
Monday caught me early
Comin down by surprise
Waiting for a signal light to change
Breathing something bitter
That was burnin my eyes
Thinkin Id go drink myself
Back home on the range
Shot down and sinking fast on sunset strip
Holding on to something in my head
Everything gets heavy when youre
Losin your grip
Nothin looks as empty as a motel bed
Chorus:
Lord, Im still a stranger
In this god-forsaken land
Farther from my future and my friends
Im gonna take enough
To wake me up and make me one
Last one night stand

Id Rather Have What We Had
(bobby braddock)
It used to be red wine there in room 3-2-9
Over the river where we werent well-known
Now its two coffees then off to the office
Then back in the driveway and sittin at home
Sneaking around with me
Or being tied down with me
Which one would you rather have
(be honest)
Dying to be with me
Or watching tv with me
Is this what we wanted so bad
Id rather have what we had
We carefully planned it
What our hearts demanded
No more motel rooms
No more cheatin lies
Now were lookin at it
A neatly wrapped package
But open it up and theres no surprise

Southern Accents
Theres a southern accent, where I come from
The younguns call it country
The yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin
But everything is done, with a southern accent
Where I come from
Now that drunk tank in atlantas
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work orlando
If them orange groves dont freeze
I got my own way of workin
But everything is run, with a southern accent
Where I come from
For just a minute there I was dreaming
For just a minute it was all so real
For just a minute she was standing there, with me
Theres a dream I keep having
Where my mama comes to me
And kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me

Billy Is A Runaway
Billy was a Bird dog
He pulled up in a Bonneville
I went to see my manager
He usually handles these things
Billy pulled his wallet
Full of hundred dollar bills
Took me for a joyride
Talkin' 'bout the stereo
Drivin' in the left lane
I'm thinkin' 'bout my burial
We pulled into the liquor store
And he was underage
And all he said to me was
Put your money away
'Cause Billy is a runaway
Billy's got a Family
Gonna skin him alive
His dope dealing sister
Wants him to join the enterprise
I leave him at the motel

Lies
Well Im reading this poem
And its so profound
And I like its rhythm
And I like its sound
Its by a very famous poet
No critic can criticise
And then I pause a moment
And I start to realize
Hes tellin
Lies lies lies
On the motel tv.
I dig the evangelist
Hell tell you all about that
And then he tell you all about this
Hes preachin up a storm
By the sea of galilee
Hes mixin up the truth
With something funny I start to see
Hes tellin
Lies lies lies
