Matthew Good — Alabama Motel Room lyrics

Lyrics

What is life if not a joke
one night she went out for smokes
and they took her apart like a ragdoll
in the back of a van
in an Alabama motel room
I have one of them tied up in the bathroom
I am down and out
but he will not get away with it again
When the night comes in I hope I’m out of the rain
When the night comes in she makes me whole again
I never sleep, I just watch TV
and the gun it lies next to me whispering
in an Alabama motel room
I reflect on her sweet perfume
I am down and out
but they will not get away with it again
Say you love me we will never get the chance again
