Met Him In A Motel Room

She met him in a motel room
In the shady part of town
With a set of satin sheets pulled back
And the window shades pulled down

Like a cotton dress, she let her fears
Fall down to the ground
With a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door
She whispered, "I've never done this before"

Some people meet him in a church
At a service on Sunday
As the preacher says the perfect words
They bow their heads to pray
And the choir sings a sweet forgiveness tune
She met him in a motel room

With a bottle full of sleeping pills
And a long, long list of sins
She'd already planned on checking out
Before she checked in

She was gonna leave a goodbye note
Just needed paper and a pen
With that vacancy light blinking red
She found that Bible in the drawer beside the bed

Some people meet him in a church
At a service on Sunday
As the preacher says the perfect words
They bow their heads to pray
And the choir sings a sweet forgiveness tune
She met him in a motel room
She met him in a motel room

No choir sang a sweet forgiveness tune
No, that's not the way that they were introduced
She met him in a motel room
She met him in a motel room
Mm, she met him in a motel room
