Sunday night, it's supper time
The hotel's full and all is fine
You can see that neon no vacancy sign
From the window of room 39
Monday morning at half past eight
Everbody's gone they've left no trace
I sit alone as the day grows late
Wait to see your friendly face
Why you chose my hotel
I'm not real qualified to tell
It's just your face I remember well
When you asked if I had a room to sell
Well, maybe you liked just what you saw
The cable tv and the indoor spa
Or maybe it was the low low price
27 bucks a night.

They say the highway is for lovers
*
But he ain't no friend of mine
Coz every time I find my heart
*
I lose it to that long yellow line
You checked in I checked you out
You smiled from the corners of your mouth
I turned on the no vacancy sign
As you checked in to room 39
I saw the light from your tv
You were watching channel 23
The night was long, the dark was deep
I kind of cried myself to sleep
chorus
Morning broke itself at last
You got your continental breakfast
Dropped off the key and said goodbye
I think i thought I head you sigh
I caught a glimpse of your license plate
As you were drifting down the interstate
It said you were from delaware
I said oh it must be gorgeous there
chorus
repeat last line of chorus, end on G
