Story Behind The Song

I spend too long away from home in lonely motel rooms..

Lyrics

V1
On my faded motel ceiling, there's a stain that looks like Christ
Though my heart is breaking, I need someone else tonight
I got a gig here for cash and beer, but you play on my mind
You love me more than Catnip, I'm missin' you in my

CHORUS:
Lonely motel room (Lonely motel room)
Like a tomb with no view (Lonely motel room)
It's a fact, I'm missing my cat
Here in my lonely motel room

V2
You love this struggling songbird and guitar playing fool
You can't talk like I do, but I get your gentle mews
Every night in room 29, it's me myself and I
When we should both be cuddling, I'm buried here in my

(Rpt Chorus)

V3
I take rain checks on the parties, friends all think I'm nuts
Nothing beats an evening on a laptop screen with us
I played the band tonight, a love song I wrote for you today
They told me it's just cheesy -- we'll do it anyway

Bridge:
Couldn't get a hotel taking pets,
How I hate this feeling
Knowing someone else looks after you,
While I'm looking at this ceiling in my

Lonely motel room (Lonely motel room)
Like a tomb with no view
It would be beautiful with you
In my lonely, lonely motel room
Lonely motel room,
My lonely, my lonely motel room
