The Thunderbird Inn – Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties
By
People are starting to tear down their Christmas lights It never got cold here but they know that the season’s died And I’ve been sleeping in a motel off 95 I don’t really mind it much The clerk at the desk is nice Well, he pours me a coffee and asks me if it’s been a long night
Well, I found a bar that’s just outside the township line And I go there most every night I drank my last paycheck dry And outside, a homeless man asks me for change and I I look him straight in his eyes He starts to apologize Tells me “God’s got a plan for me and that it’ll be alright” Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
The owner’s been giving me a break on my rent this week He says that I’m good for it Well, I joke how I’m probably But I came up short again and nobody’s laughing So I’ll sneak out at 2 am I can’t do it honestly Well, I know I’m a coward and I feel a bad night coming Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
So pour me another drink for a daughter I’ll never meet A wife who don’t love me and a cold cup of coffee So pour me another drink and I’ll count my blessings Got a half tank of gas left and this bottle ain’t empty
