Song Lyrics

Behind the stairs and the Coke machine
Down in the corner, sight unseen
In the cheap motel

It's concrete walls and concrete walks
Concrete halls and concrete blocks
In the cheap motel

The girl at the desk, she's learning guitar
Watching the faces, counting the cars
In the cheap motel

Works by herself, likes it alone
Eyes looking through you, harder than stone
In the cheap motel

That highway sings, that highway moans
All the lonely hearts on the highway home
The ice machine, she's broken down
And we're stuck out here on the edge of town
In the cheap motel

It's checkout time and they're on their way
But we're still here for another day
In the cheap motel

That highway sings, that highway moans
All the lonely hearts on the highway home
The Chicano maid, she's feeling good
Got a sister that works in Hollywood
No the cheap motel

The window's barred and the doors are locked
Time stands still on a broken clock
In the cheap motel
