LONELY HIGHWAY

Check out’s always 12 o’clock

You get one key to a worn out lock

No checks, no refunds, and no dogs

 

The coffee is brewed fresh just for you

Nah the local paper is gonna have to do  

Will that be 1st floor, 2nd floor, one or two?

 

Night after night, day after day

The cars pull in and then they pull away

The people come but they never stay

On this lonely highway

 

The swimming pool’s got too much chlorine

But the towels they’re always white and clean

We got TV, phones, and ice machines

 

I’ve been behind this counter 30 years

I’ve heard tales of blood and sweat and tears

Some think I’m lucky living here

 

Night after night, day after day

The cars pull in and then they pull away

The people come but they never stay

On this lonely highway

 

Some think I’m lucky living here

The mountains are high and the water’s clear

In the summer time it’s paradise

But the winter is just cold as ice

On this lonely lonely lonely highway

Yeah on this lonely lonely lonely highway

Yeah on this lonely lonely lonely

Lonely lonely highway
