The Bitter Inn
There's a little motel
On the outskirts of town
Where I live since she said, "Goodbye"
Four walls and a bed
Where I lay my head
Full of memories I can't get off my mind
At this place I call home
The sign out front's gone
Like our love, it's gone with the wind
So I gave it a name
For the tears and the pain
I call it the bitter inn
Now there's no telephone
In this prison of stone
But it don't matter
No one would call anyhow
It could use some repair
It needs someone to care
Like me, it's a little run-down
At this place I call home
The sign out front's gone
So I gave it a name for my sins
'Cause I know I'm to blame
For the tears and the pain
Here at the bitter inn
Oh, here at the bitter inn
On the outskirts of town
Where I live since she said, "Goodbye"
Four walls and a bed
Where I lay my head
Full of memories I can't get off my mind
At this place I call home
The sign out front's gone
Like our love, it's gone with the wind
So I gave it a name
For the tears and the pain
I call it the bitter inn
Now there's no telephone
In this prison of stone
But it don't matter
No one would call anyhow
It could use some repair
It needs someone to care
Like me, it's a little run-down
At this place I call home
The sign out front's gone
So I gave it a name for my sins
'Cause I know I'm to blame
For the tears and the pain
Here at the bitter inn
Oh, here at the bitter inn
