Room 228

Lyrics

There's a dozen dusty roses in a picture on the wall A phone there on the table if you need a wake-up call But there ain't no room service No pool and no valet Just a single bed and dresser here in room 228 There's a hint of jasmine perfume From a cheating woman's neck Johnny Walker whiskey and half smoked cigarettes There's a quarter for a phone call a lover never madе These walls could tell somе secrets here in room 228 Live and die And laugh and cry In here it's all the same Rich or poor Or healed or broken No one's here to stay The winners and the losers The sinners and the saints We're all just passing through here in room 228 There's heart there on the headboard Underneath the paint Carved by two teenagers on their wedding day There's a dog eared King James bible If you need to ease your pain It's saved a couple lost souls here in room 228 Live and die And laugh and cry In here it's all the same Rich or poor Or healed or broken No one's here to stay The winners and the losers The sinners and the saints We're all just passing through here in room 228 There's a dozen dusty roses In a picture on the wall A phone there on the table If you need a wake-up call
