Holiday Inn Blues - Neil Diamond

Half a day from nowhere

Hurrying to get there

Ninety miles an hour

In two Plymouth wagons

The Avis lady gave us a smile

Tom’s getting uptight

Max’ll will make it all right

Ken’s asleep in back

Artie’s reading a map

That’s takin' us where we’re heading to

We should be there soon

There’s a sign up ahead

Wash my face and get fed

And that voice in my head

Keeps sayin' I’m lonely

But I’m only payin' my dues

Holiday Inn Blues

Had a reservation, best accommodations

We get the word, they never heard

We were comin' by at all

See what they can do for me

Only got one room free

Little bit confined

But if you guys don’t mind

We’ll put you up in our bridal suite

The view can’t be beat

And a fine view they got

Of a new parking lot

And I can’t repeat what’s in my mind

As I lay back resigned

And I kick off my shoes

Holiday Inn Blues

Time to put a show on

Gettin' time to go on

People call for more

We do two encores

Take our bows and we’re feelin' fine

We got to unwind

Want some coffee, but then

This town closes at ten

Looks like I’m gonna spend

One more night by the light

Of the late show

And Charlie Chans’s crew

Holiday Inn Blues

Holiday Inn Blues

I feel so down

Holiday Inn Blues

What am I gonna do?
