Lyrics Cheap Motels - Southern Culture On The Skids

Cheap Motels

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
