Phoenix Motel

Sitting on the corner bout midnight
The shadows hanging long and low
Your bloodshot eyes meet me with surprise
Guess there’s something we both didn’t know
Split of a second to answer
Less than a moment that to act
The scarlet skies left you drowning in lies
And now there ain’t a chance that you’re coming back

It’s a long way home
When you’re tired and you’re cold
It’s a long, long, way back home
It’s a long, long, road
When your soul you went and sold
It’s a long, long, way back home
Suspicions arise in the evenings
Too many questions to speak
I’m feeling faint when in the morning you ain’t
Laying in the bed next to me

The click of my heels makes you weary
You thought you gotten off scott free
I found a key to the phoenix motel
It was buried our old love seat
It’s a long way home
When you’re tired and you’re cold
It’s a long, long, way back home.
It’s a long, long, road
When your soul you went and sold
It’s a long, long, way back home.

A long cold walk down that old dark pier
Waves hit the walls and wash over my fear
Long lost call to that wild black sea
Must have made you forget about me

It’s a long way home
When you’re tired and you’re cold
It’s a long, long, way back home.
It’s a long, long, road
When your soul you went and sold
It’s a long, long, way back home.
It’s a long, long, way back home.
It’s a long, long, way back home
