Cheap Motel

I was driving west with nowhere to go
Cheap motel sign saying "Vacancy Low"
She was leaning in the doorway, barefoot, bored
Said she's seen my face in a dream before
Radio playing something old and slow
Every wrong turn felt like home

I'm cheap motel dreaming
On a mattress worn thin
She don't promise forever
But she lets me in
Yeah, I'm cheap motel dreaming
With the door half closed
Fell in love with the woman
Everybody knows

She talks in smoke and midnight laughs
Knows all the men, forgets their past
Says love's just a trick of the light
But she stays 'til the end of the night
I know better, I still don't care
Something about her pulls me there

I'm cheap motel dreaming
On a mattress worn thin
She don't promise forever
But she lets me in
Yeah, I'm cheap motel dreaming
With the door half closed
Fell in love with the woman
Everybody knows

Morning comes like it always does
She slips away, I stay because
Some dreams are meant to be clean
I'm still cheap motel dreaming
