Shady Rest

Oh she was twenty-one she liked to have her fun and she was restless

And I met her through a friend just one look then I knew I was helpless

And there beside the highway underneath the trees

There were fifteen cozy rooms and a coke machine

And the summer nights were warm

We found a home away from home at Shady Rest

They said she married well I read all they had to tell in the papers

And I thought she had it all till she gave me a call three weeks later

And there beside the highway underneath the trees

There were fifteen cozy rooms and fourteen vacancies

And the autumn nights were cool

We found a home away from home at Shady Rest

Our love was somehow special our love was somehow blessed

Through the years it never faltered down at Shady Rest

Now she's thirty-one with three kids at home and a husband waiting

And I got kids of my own but I spent my time at home anticipating

And there beside the highway underneath the trees

We spend two nights a week in good old number three

And the winter nights are cold

We found a home away from home at Shady Rest

(Shady Rest Shady Rest) stay a little longer

(Shady Rest Shady Rest) please don't go

Shady Rest Shady Rest) honey don't worry

(Shady Rest Shady Rest) nobody's gonna know

(Shady Rest Shady Rest)
