Lyrics
Country Club Motor Lodge (Singer/songwriter)
If you're driving highway 80
And the hour is getting late
In the heart of Salt Lake City
You can pull off the interstate
If you're in need of hospitality
Need a cozy place to stay
There waiting for you
Down on Parley's Way
There's a warm welcome in the office
Where the coffee's always hot
If it's been a real slow afternoon
They'll brew a fresh new pot
It's a place for weary travelers
In your Chevrolet or Dodge
Welcome to the Country Club Motor Lodge
It's just a small motel
But you'll be treated well
It's a trip back to a different time
When a candy bar was just a dime
And every time the phone would ring
A friendly voice was answering
It's hard to find a place like that these days
And if you want to grab a bite to eat
Just ask Darlene or Mabel
'Round the corner is Finn's restaurant
Where they set a real fine table
Finn show's his patrons service
Just the way he always did
The way his parents insisted it should be
When Finn was just a kid
It's just a small motel
But you'll be treated well
It's a trip back to a different time
When a candy bar was just a dime
Swing into the parking lot
In your chevrolet or Dodge
Welcome to the Country Club Motor Lodge
Welcome to the Country Club Motor Lodge
