Motel Room in Davenport

I'm in a motel room in Davenport

Waiting on the resurrection

Waiting for a light to shine

Waiting for this hard luck story of mine to end

Well I've just finished a meal

Of white rice and black beans and okra

I had me some wine

I'm feeling particularly fine my friend

And the mood has changed

From black to blue to green

And the interstate twists into the sky

Well the noontime crew

Has made this place look new

And I might just stay put until I die

I'm in a motel room in Davenport

Just about a quarter mile from the interstate

I've been thinking about God

I've been thinking it's odd how we don't have cable at home

If I get myself together

I could be in Missouri by morning

I'm waiting on no one now

No one can slow you down when you're all alone

And the mood has changed

From black to blue to green

And the interstate twists into the sky

And the noontime crew

Has made this place look new

Well I might just stay put until I die

I'm in a motel room in Davenport

Working on a certain inspiration

One you can't get in LA

No matter how much you pay or you pretend

They got a copy of the Gideon Bible

In each and every nightstand

Next to a massage parlor ad

Neither choice is too bad if you need a friend

But my mood has changed

From black to blue to green

And the interstate twists into the sky

And the noontime crew

Has made this place look new

And I might just stay put until I die

I'm in a motel room in Davenport
