Motel Mayday - Josiah and the Bonnevilles

I left the band back in L. A

I could barely stand but I had bills to pay

I took one boot and one guitar

I had a hang over and a broken heart

Well, me and my baby got into another fight

I know the drill but it feels like the last time

She called me up to tell me I was alone

I slept it off by the side of the ride and

I should have known better

I should have stayed away

She bought me beer and she knew my name and

She sang along to every song

Said hey baby, let’s slip away

To the motel mayday

Now Jim (?)'s a friend of mine

We park under the bridge and we take our time

On a day off got nowhere to be

Got nobody looking for me

Well, me and the lord are getting into a fight

I hate the road and I swear it’s the last time

He said, «My son, will you just hang on?

I only give you everything that you want»

And, you should have known better

You should have stayed away

She bought me beer lord, she knew my name

She sang along to every song

Took my hand as the main band played

To the motel mayday

Now how does he go back to Tennessee

Says she’s got a baby and it looks like me

So I’m going back up a mountain

Gonna send my money to my family, yeah

Some days I think it’s all gonna turn out right

Some days I drink 'til I’m barely alive

And, these days my dreams, they’re all but gone

The road is dark (?) the headlights on

I should have known better

I should have stayed away

She bought me beer and she knew my name and

She sang along to every song

Said hey baby, let’s slip away

To the motel mayday
