lyrics

Vacant Motel Heart

I'm still parked out by the lake
80 miles from Santa Fe
Where I told you how I felt
But you still moved on
And the dust keeps kicking up
But you still ain't picking up
And your voicemail still can't tell me what
went wrong

CHORUS
My love is a dirt road home
It's a worn-out bed-stand Bible
My love will always be there by your side
My love is a watch you've gotta wind
Like silver you got to shine
But I Guess it ain't enough
To make you want to stay
In this vacant motel heart

Lately I've been looking back
To that Sunday at the track
Places bets that we both knew
we couldn't win
You bet on “Keeping Time”
I bet it all on “You and I“
Maybe things were never quite
the same again

CHORUS

Somewhere
There’s someone,
Who’s going to see

CHORUS

And someday somebody’s gonna
come along and stay
Who’s never going to break
My vacant motel h
