Hotel Keys - Dave Barnes

Baltimore’s the coldest that I have ever been

In a second it seemed to me the encore came and went

I fell asleep over Virginia, woke up in Tennessee

They always seem to steal a piece of me

Wheels just keep on rolling

Another town, another scene

11 years of running over miles of memories

What I’d give to go back to when it was still a dream

When it was more than a pocket of hotel keys

That day off in Chicago, when I almost gave it up

We caught up over coffee, I’d forgotten who I was

But I made it down to Memphis in time to feel the crowd

I wonder what Chicago’s doing now

And I’m waiting on a change in the weather

I’m waiting on a change in me

Lord, forgive my tired soul

The music sure can take a toll, it seems

Oh, it seems
