Motel Tonight
Said I'd be back by the time the sun sets
But all the mountains around me look more like silhouettes
The longest road I've ever known has always been the last stretch
That takes me back home
So I take a deep breath and rub my eyes
I'm gonna take my time and make it home all right
But there's no way in hell I'm getting a motel tonight
I'll turn on the campus radio when I'm in range
Until then I'll drive in silence just for the change
And wait to hear a voice other than my own come thru the atmospheric noise
And across the chrome
As if my car were a tin can and the antenna were twine disappearing
Behind the mountain line
But there's no way in hell I'm getting a motel tonight
You're there at my house, half asleep on the couch
You know there's an empty bed.
You'd rather wait, half awake, to be side-by-side instead
So there's no way in hell I'm getting a motel tonight
All those road-side crosses scare the shit outta me
An accident could happen so easily
No matter how carefully, keep it steady
I gotta get home before my eyes get heavy
On a road with no shoulder, no place to pull over, and not so much as a street light
But there's no way in hell I'm getting a hotel tonight
But all the mountains around me look more like silhouettes
The longest road I've ever known has always been the last stretch
That takes me back home
So I take a deep breath and rub my eyes
I'm gonna take my time and make it home all right
But there's no way in hell I'm getting a motel tonight
I'll turn on the campus radio when I'm in range
Until then I'll drive in silence just for the change
And wait to hear a voice other than my own come thru the atmospheric noise
And across the chrome
As if my car were a tin can and the antenna were twine disappearing
Behind the mountain line
But there's no way in hell I'm getting a motel tonight
You're there at my house, half asleep on the couch
You know there's an empty bed.
You'd rather wait, half awake, to be side-by-side instead
So there's no way in hell I'm getting a motel tonight
All those road-side crosses scare the shit outta me
An accident could happen so easily
No matter how carefully, keep it steady
I gotta get home before my eyes get heavy
On a road with no shoulder, no place to pull over, and not so much as a street light
But there's no way in hell I'm getting a hotel tonight
