Motel Rooms

Those motel rooms are lonely places

Sometimes that Gideon's Bible is your only friend

You can change the channel

You can talk to her on the phone

But you hang up and you're alone there in the end

CHORUS

And You wonder if anyone's ever felt this way,

And you know they have, but you wonder what they would say

And when Jacob wrestles the angel, and winds up limping on that day,

A little bit of that old loneliness just goes away

When you turn the engine over the next morning

And it's on to the next motel room in the next town

And the miles stretch out

like a long thin asphalt desert

And you're still five days from being homeward bound

CHORUS

But when Samson, he goes blind after his woman done him wrong

You figure, "Ah well, five days ain't really all that long."

And when Jesus raises up the dead and gives sight to the blind

You say now there's a man that I could get behind
