Motel Letter Blues
I'm stuck inside this cheap old room
Been telling myself I might phone you
Saying dear friend I'd be coming home
But not right now and it won't be soon
I've been feeling low and not doing much
Got myself mixed with the wrong old bunch
Had me feeling electrified
Always waking up where I don't know why
Lord I've been going down
Lord you've been coming around
Lord your help I don't want it
Not right now not just yet
Well, it's looking like such a sunny day
I feel it coming through that pulled down shade
Haven't left my bed for three or four days
But I never feel worried
I'm always thinking it will come around
You'll see me cleaned up above this ground
Hunting for a woman to fill my needs
One I can love so selfishly
Lord I've been going down
Lord you've been coming around
Lord your help I don't want it
Not right now not just yet
It's a motel letter from a young man's brain
It's awaiting that spot on a downbound train
It's a hard living with a head that's strained
From the night to the morning
Lost when I think I get lost in my mind
Keeps me coming to the good old times
When I feel it's the end of the line
Wanna get out and give it one more try
Lord I've been going down
Lord you've been coming around
Lord your help I don't want it
Not right now not just yet
