Well out on the bypass
Not too far,
There's a joint that's a jumpin'
When they close up the bars

Well if walls could talk
Man, the stories they'd tell
Holding up the roof on a cheap motel
Holding up the roof on a cheap motel

You can rent 'em all night
But they're cheaper by the hour
The towels are clean
But they still smell sour

The night clerk's smiling
'Cause he's usually stoned
But you can do out there
What you can't do at home

There's a cigarette burn
On the table by the bed
And a king James bible
That's never been read

If walls could talk
Man, the stories they'd tell
Holding up the walls on a cheap motel
Holding up the walls on a cheap motel

They got a cinder block wall
So you can't be seen
Walking out naked
By the ice machine

Keep it hush-hush
Cause you never can tell
Who you'll see walking
'Round a cheap motel

There's a cigarette burn
On the table by the bed
And a king James bible
That's never been read

If walls could talk
Man, the stories they'd tell
Holding up the roof on a cheap motel
Holding up the roof on a cheap motel

Hey!

Just holdin' up the roof
Just a-holdin' up the roof on a cheap motel
