From The Lobby Of A Cheap Motel

from Gone Gone Gone by Fred Gillen Jr

/

lyrics

My calling card died three days ago and
I’ve been driving since then without sleep
I’m calling from the lobby of a cheap motel
and I know in the morning I can’t pay the bill
I can’t let the police catch up with me so I’ll be on the lamb without a plan
I miss you. I want to kiss you one more time before I die

I’m glad I couldn’t call ‘cause I’m afraid that he might answer
And who could blame you anyway?
Why should you wait for weeks alone?
So I guess ignorance is bliss as they say
But I’m still out here wondering,
I guess as long as you are happy for a moment it’s ok
I miss you. I want to kiss you one more time before I die

I voted by absentee ballot in the last three elections
I don’t know if my vote even counted because I haven’t got a home
I miss you. I want to kiss you one more time before I die

So now I’m risking the last two bucks I’ve got
To give your number one last shot
I can’t leave any call back number
Because I haven’t got a home
I miss you. I want to kiss you one more time before I die
