• Holy Hotel

My told-you-so done told me to
My know-it-all knew what to do
But the fact-of-the-matter is a word-to-the-wise
It’s all right there when I close my eyes
I was built for speed, not to last
I was shining bright now I’m fading fast
Like yesterdays and remember-whens
And everywhere I ever been
Still burns inside this soul of mine
Took all the turns and turned out find
I can’t recall when it was but it was just in time,
Just because

[chorus]
I was never fond of fare-thee-wells
Long goodbyes and time-will-tells
See you soon say so long
Too damn bad it’s good as gone
Baby, if you promised not to tell,
Baby, if you promised not to tell,
Baby, if you promised not to tell,
I’m checking out of that holy hotel.

Well, the train pulled out when the truth pulled in
If I were me I’d do it all again
Now I’m rocking away in this rocking chair
With the good and the bad and the just ain’t-fair
And now it’s you and me and Father Time
Just waitin’ on that perfect rhyme.
Well, I never believed I’d ever belong
Where you get all you can from those getting along
And given the choice ‘twixt the two, can’t say either one will do
But nowadays, those days of yore
Are just washing up on some distant shore

[chorus]

[interlude]
[oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh]
Every place I am and everywhere I go
I come face to face with what I’ll never know
Regrets are few, say what you will
But I’ve seen the world while standing still
When the sun goes down and that darkness falls
This know-it-all lived and I loved it all

[repeat chorus, repeat interlude, fade]
