Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've got a blue motel room with a blue bedspread I've got the blues inside and outside my head Will you still love me when I call you up when I'm down? Here in Savannah it's pouring rain Palm trees in the porch light like slick black cellophane Will you still love me when I call you up when I get back to town? [Chorus 1] I know that you've got all those pretty girls coming on Hanging on your boom-boom-pachyderm Will you tell those girls that you've got German Measles Honey, tell them you've got germs I hope you'll be thinking of me because I'll be thinking of you While I'm traveling home alone Tell those girls that you've got Joni, she's coming back home [Verse 2] I've got road maps from two dozen states I've got coast to coast just to contemplate Will you still love me when I get back to town? It's funny how these old feelings hang around You think they're gone, no, no, they just go underground Will you still love me when I get back to L.A. town? [Chorus 2] You and me, we're like America and Russia We're always keeping score We're always balancing the power And that can get to be a cold, cold war We're going to have to hold ourselves a peace talk In some neutral café You lay down your sneaking round the town honey And I'll lay down the highway [Outro] I've got a blue motel room with a blue bedspread I've got the blues inside and outside my head Will you still love me when I get back to town?
