Artist: Michelle Malone Album: Homegrown (1999) Title: Cheap One Star Hotel
Lyrics Cheap One Star HotelI sit in silence in my hotel room thinking of the meaningless things I could do
Stare at the window and stare at the walls
Stare at nothing thinking of nothing at all
Ooh - ooh, I chained and locked the deadbolt on the door
Ooh - ooh, now I can sleep as late as three or four
The phone it doesn’t ring, the sun it doesn’t shine
In my cheap one star hotel room it is always night
It’s good to come here and be all alone
Finally I’m safe inside this room I call my home
Ooh – ooh, I cannot wait for the housemaid to come
Ooh – ooh, she’ll stick her head inside my door and run
I thank God for this green earth and you and my guitar
But also for this cheap hotel of only one bright star
It’s good to come here and buy a little rest
Me and the neighbors share a common need for being guests
And if it weren’t for this cheap one star hotel don’t know where I’d be
Sleeping in my car somewhere on Hwy 93
Ooh – ooh, I took a shower and a bubble bath
Ooh – ooh, it’s amazing how long that hot water lasts
I thank God for this green earth and you and my guitar
But also for this cheap hotel of only one bright star
I thank god for this green earth and you and my guitar
But also for this cheap hotel...of only one bright star |
