Hotel Keys

Baltimore's the coldest that I have ever been
In a second it seemed to me the encore came and went
I fell asleep over Virginia, woke up in Tennessee
They always seem to steal a piece of me
Wheels just keep on rolling
Another town, another scene
11 years of running over miles of memories
What I'd give to go back to when it was still a dream
When it was more than a pocket of hotel keys
That day off in Chicago, when I almost gave it up
We caught up over coffee, I'd forgotten who I was
But I made it down to Memphis in time to feel the crowd
I wonder what Chicago's doing now
Wheels just keep on rolling
Another town, another scene
11 years of running over miles of memories
What I'd give to go back to when it was still a dream
When it was more than a pocket of hotel keys
And I'm waiting on a change in the weather
I'm waiting on a change in me
Lord, forgive my tired soul
The music sure can take a toll, it seems
Oh, it seems
Wheels just keep on rolling
Another town, another scene
11 years of running over miles of memories
What I'd give to go back to when it was still a dream
When it was more than a pocket of hotel keys
