Motel Mayday

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left the band back in L.A I could barely stand, but I had bills to pay I took one boot and one guitar I had a hangover and a broken heart Well, me and my baby got into another fight I know the drill but it feels like the last time She called me up to tell me I was alone I slept it off by the side of the road and [Chrous] I should have known better I should have stayed away She bought me beer and she knew my name and She sang along to every song Said "Hey baby, let's slip away To the Motel Mayday" [Verse 2] Now, Jim Beam, he's a friend of mine We park under the bridge and we take our time On a day off got nowhere to be Got nobody looking for me Well, me and the lord are getting into a fight I hate the road and I swear it's the last time He said, "My son, will you just hang on? I only give you everything you want" and [Chorus 2] You should have known better You should have stayed away She bought me beer, Lord, she knew my name She sang along to every song Took my hand as the main band played To the Motel Mayday [Verse 3] Now there's a girl back in Tennessee Says she's got a baby and it looks like me So I'm going back up the mountain Gonna send my money to my family, yeah Some days I think it's all gonna turn out right Some days I drink 'til I'm barely alive and These days, my dreams, they're all but gone The road is dark, put the headlights on and [Chorus] I should have known better I should have stayed away She bought me beer and she knew my name and She sang along to every song Said "Hey baby, let's slip away To the Motel Mayday"
