lyrics

Old Motels and Dead Saloons

Ive been ramblin
round these roads
scent of smoke
stained into my clothes
homemade whiskey
made the night before
make me feel less guilty
but im guilty with every poor

Its Okay to forget me
now that im gone
I still hear your name
in every single song
heartbreak is a woman I trust
cause ive known her ways for years

Old Motel rooms
and dead saloons
can quite understand
why id rather write this tune
Use to make a living
use to make her proud
now im riding on rail cars
and hitching to every town

Its Okay to forget me
now that im gone
I still hear your name
in every single song
heartbreak is a woman I trust
cause ive known her ways for years

Darlin its time for healing now
Close your eyes weary eyes
and rest your beating head
no one's gonna take you
from me now
stay here forever with me instead

When I awoke to
the sound of her voice
I saw it was traffic
making all the noise
so ill keep on moving
through the gravel and ground
home is where my boots walk
wherever I am found
